How's them apples?

Was Johnny Appleseed for real? Where did apples originate? And how do horticulturists develop better and better varieties of the fruit? Mo Rocca visits the Johnny Appleseed Festival in Fort Wayne, Ind., and goes on a cross-country search for the history of apples, including a new variety - the Cosmic Crisp - coming soon to a produce market near you.

I was born in Kazakhstan, wild apples are everywhere. Looks and taste vary extremely. Some are way too sour to enjoy, others are lightly sweet and mushy. I loved a variety of very small apples (1 inch), firm flesh and a refreshing combination of sour and sweet.
Former capital and biggest city has "apple" ("alma") in its name.

In America near the town where Johnny Appleseed was born they are they’s tiny native crabapples and close relatives hawthorns that usually probably tatses pretty bad depending on species they have apples and apple relatives that are like little berries smaller then cherries they grow every where wildly.

Mo has one of the coolest jobs in the entire world!

[@BrianFaure1]

I'm so pumped for this cosmic crisp!

[@rayjones3212]

Mo, you are a hoot! Loved this article - esp since it included a city from my home state. If you are ever in Central Indiana (south side of Indianapolis) you should look up Adrians Orchard (on West Epler Street). This orchard is one of the remaining few in our area and they have the very best apple cider I've tasted in all of my years. Thanks and keep on, keepin' on.

[@RavenBlaze]

I have been waiting weeks for this article to come out! Ever since my folks saw you at the festival!

[@bonneburton116]

Cosmic Crisp is truly the best apple. I love it!!

[@onedumbbaby]

[@mallorybrielle280]

I love that festival, I go every year on my birthday, and always get the delicious ham and beans.

The Fuji apple is my favorite.
Where dose the Fuji apple come from.

[@525Lines]

Never know if your apple tree will grow bitter or sweet apples, so you splice branches from trees you know grow sweet apples to the branches of trees that grow bitter apples to get more sweet apples.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Very nice. Thank you..

[@chancellorjake]

Jonagold are the best!

[@JackThomss]

Glad you visited Ft Wayne! But you mispronounced my family's name, Goeglein (sounds like Gegg-Line).

[@mydoglayla5045]

I was excited for the Cosmic Crisp. I was totally let down. Idk, maybe I had too high expectations.

[@ThePhrygianFingers]

Same. I think Honeycrisp is still my favorite store variety.

[@jenniferfellows7503]

Gonna have to take a road trip🥧

[@joseppijay860]

So, how is the Cosmic Crisp Apple 🍎?

[@onedumbbaby]

incredible!! they just showed up at my local market

[@theowl556]

Who agrees red delicious is the grossest apple.

[@TheMaryam1891]

The skin is too tough.

[@Livetoeat171]

Bitter & skin is tough

[@dianeovercash6739]

I just don't like the taste.

[@natero1]

Agreed!

[@davidmichigan8542]

Grady Auvil said that red was dead in the nineteen fifties! Bulldozed acres of those loser apples....yeah they were gross to put it politely.

[@johnsimms3957]

I wish they would come out with a non GMO apple that is low in malic acid. Even the ambrosia apples irritate my stomach and esophagus. So I can't eat any of them. Even though I love them.

[@lady_sir_knight3713]

Are you okay with cooked apples?

[@sergiovasques1363]

1. Apple
