It is fairly tart, not as much as Granny Smith, firm texture. I am enjoying with some cheese, it would probably be good for pie making if the texture holds up.
I bought a bag of Lucy Glo apples at Trader Joe's today. Two lb bag for $4.99. They are very nice apples. Good sweet/tart balance. Not the crispest apple ever but not at all mealy. The skins are a little tough or chewy. Noticeable but not off-putting for me.
I think the apple I just ate is less colorful than the one that @BeeZee shared 2 years ago and I had another one that was even paler so there seems to be some variability.
I gather there is a Lucy Rose sibling that's all looks and less flavor. Not sure I'll be looking for them but I'll buy these again if I see them.
