Pazazz Apple Review

"The Desperate Musical Theater Major"

Barely Worth It
Pazazz Apple


A hefty prize horse created by honeybees in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the Pazazz Apple will elbow its way into your mouth like a musical theater major looking for acceptance and leave behind a mild taste as memorable as said student’s inevitably disappointing career. Each bite of the Pazazz is a masterclass in stage hand-combat (particularly if you pick up the larger non-bagged varieties) forcing you to contend with a formidable construction and razor-sharp skin that will end your singing career early. All in all, the Pazazz Apple is “a lot”. However, if you can move past the cries of desperation that surround it, you will find exceptional juiciness and a good crisp bite that may be worth, at the very least, an audition with your tastebuds.

  1. As I am on my break eating a Pazazz I bought yesterday, I find it reminds me of what Red Delicious was like in the 1980’s. Somewhere in the 90’s R.D. growers started crossing their trees to make a softer textured apple, because people were complaining that it had become too hard to bite into. But they took it too far sacrificing both flavor and texture. Pazazz is just right!!! It is a bit hard, and you really have to work that first bite, or use a knife. But the crunchy texture is worth it. It could be a little bit sweeter, but it’s almost at the right level. This apple will be great in salads, used with dips, and for other displays, since it is slower to brown than R.D., but still use your favorite anti-browning technique if it will be on display for more than 30 min. This apple, if left as it is, should become a challenger to the Gala’s in the market. The Growers have this one just right, so don’t mess with it!!! Give the public a few seasons to find it, while advertising its qualities. There are plenty of sweet apples, but very few with a stand-up crunch. I stopped eating RD’s when they got as mushy as their Golden cousins, thank you for giving me an apple I have been missing for a long time.
