Learn More About This Apple:
“The Cosmic Crisp® brand apple is the remarkably delicious result of 20 years of study and research by Washington State University’s world-class tree fruit breeding program. Classically bred by Washington State University researchers, Cosmic Crisp® brand apples are a cross between Enterprise and Honeycrisp.
Large, round, crisp, and super juicy, these bi-color apples have a rich red that almost sparkles with starburst-like lenticels—which is where the name “Cosmic” comes from. The natural balance of acid and sugar in Cosmic Crisp® apples gives them an unmatched sweetness, making them perfect for snacking, baking, and entertaining.
Naming this Washington apple involved several meetings with consumer focus groups around the state with sessions in Pullman, Yakima, and Seattle. The “Cosmic” factor of the name was developed because of the “striking” lenticels on the apple surface; they reminded the tasters of outer space and the cosmos. “Crisp” also links to its parent, ‘Honeycrisp.’ One of the outstanding attributes of the apple is its crisp texture.
