SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — They call it the Cosmic Crisp. It's not a video game, a superhero or the title of a Grateful Dead song.
It's a new variety of apple, coming to a grocery store near you Dec. 1
Cosmic Crisp is the first apple ever bred in Washington state, which grows the majority of the United States' apples. It's expected to be a game changer.
The new variety keeps for a long time in storage and in the refrigerator, said Kate Evans, who runs the breeding program at Washington State University.
And it's an exceptionally good "eating apple," she said. "It's ultra-crisp, very juicy and has a good balance of sweetness and tartness."

I'm eagerly awaiting this apple!
This time of year, my Food Lion offers lots of varieties, and Honey Crisp or Jazz have become my favoriates.
Now, there is another contender!

If it ever reaches the Eastern end of the states, I sure hope the price is not as high as Honey Crisp has been.
