Lucy Glo Apple Review
"The Breathtaking Circus Freak"
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.

Best apple I’ve ever eaten and I’ve eaten a lot of apples.
I thought Cosmic was great but Lucy Glo is now my favorite – a great balance between sugar sweet and pucker tartness
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.
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.
