This red and green, Minnesotan stocking stuffer delivers a robust first bite, but quickly devolves into a fibrous mulch resembling pre-chewed roughage from a mother bird’s beak. With snow white flesh, a savory taste some growers describe as “buttery”, and a fairy-tale-esque name, the SnowSweet Apple promises the glee of joyous holiday memories only to have the vibrance fade, like the muted tones of its skin, leaving eaters with the feeling that Santa isn’t real. Despite the irretrievable nostalgia this apple invokes, it is still worth a spot under the tree, providing just enough jollies to justify a forced smile at your Aunt Hilda. But aside from that fleeting moment of elven magic, the SnowSweet is nothing more than a dust-gathering Christmas present that will one day be donated to Goodwill.
