Apples are the most popular fruit in the United States, according to the USDA, and yet they still manage to be controversial.
When it comes to apples, there's a spectrum of sweet to tart, and everyone's going to have their own opinions about which is best.
For sour apple lovers, the answer is very straightforward. Granny Smith is the quintessential tart apple, unless you want to count the brutally sour crab apple
For those who love a balance of sweet and tart, the recently engineered Cosmic Crisp is the clear way to go.
But what about sweet apple lovers? When it comes to the sweet end of the apple spectrum, there is a considerable variety of choices.
There's not a firm consensus on what the sweetest apple is, as there can be variations from fruit to fruit
However, Kiku apples are widely considered to be the most notably and consistently sweet variety
This kind of apple was first grown in 1990, and to this day, they are only grown in a small handful of orchards.
