Lucy Glo Apple Review

"The Breathtaking Circus Freak"

Lucy Glo Apple

🏅 #6 RANKED SOUR APPLE

The Lucy Glo is a circus-freak apple with yellow skin and a red interior that shocks skeptics into submission. Most would expect this clown-urine soaked frog testicle to taste like an unhealed surgical wound since each bite resembles a freshly picked scab. However, most (whoever they are) should prepare their expectations to be shattered. This candy-like, perfectly tart, masterclass in a full flavor profile is a joy to eat and lives up to its flashy appearance. A novelty apple, this is not. Major branding deduction as the Lucy Glo is easily confused with its far inferior sister apple the Lucy Rose.

  1. Wow! What a grim description, especially compared to how delicious I find these apples! I enjoy tart apples, and Lucy Glo, Cripps Pink, and Granny Smith are the only three I’ve really enjoyed. The juiciness and bold color are bonuses on a Lucy Glo! They don’t keep as well as some apples, so I buy a bunch when they’re available. Hoping to find more as sour and delightful as this one, although I’ve been sadly disappointed by a number of other newer cultivars that have shown up in recent years.

  2. I just had the pleasure of trying your Lucy Glo apples. What a pleasure! Thank you 🙂 Unfortunately, when I went back to Trader Joe’s the next week they were all gone. Hopefully you’ll be able to increase production because your apples are really special.
