New Year. New varieties. Bought this afternoon in Northern New York - Pink Lady. From an apple flogging site:

Yet another import from the land "down under" this variety was originally named Cripp's Pink. Developed and bred by the agriculture department of Western Australia in 1973, Pink Lady apples are a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams. Introduced to the United States by way of New Zealand in the late eighties, the fruit is medium in size and conical in shape, with a distinctive pink blush over a yellow background. The fine-grained flesh of this apple is crisp and crunchy and, because it does not brown easily after being cut, Pink Lady is a desirable (blah, blah, blah)... When eaten out-of-hand, the first bite tastes pleasantly tart and is followed by a delicious (blah, blah, blah)...

The pinkness is an odd pinkness. Pinkness of candy floss over a golden delicious base. The browning claim is a lie as it browns up quickly but the light cidery taste is worth the rapid oxidization. It looks like it can be expected to be a big mass market type over the next few years.
