Crisp Apples Should Not Have To Mean Apple Crisp

Can someone please let me in on the secret of choosing non-mushy apples? Anyone?

My latest apple-purchase found me with 2 crispers and 3 mushers. I'm choking the last one down as we speak.

Please, your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    I fear this is a serious epidemic...

    It's the way they smell. And the dots on the skin. If they have dots that look like they've been there a while, put them down. Close together dots are better than farther apart dots, too. Sometimes I'll even forego the organic if the sprayed pass the smell and dot test.

    Thanks, all!! I am proud to say my apple today was a crisper and not a musher.

    It all depends on the way they sound when you hit them. Grab an apple and tap it firmly with your thumb or finger. It should kinda sound crisp and thumpy.
