I recently started making my own applesauce in my Instant Pot after my backyard Gala Apple tree produced fruit. During the winter, these 5 lb bags suffice for a pot of unsweetened applesauce. The gala apples were not available this time, so I purchased Fuji.

I LOVE these apples, as do my boys. However, do NOT purchase them via "pick-up" service; one must go into the store and pick them out. Three times I picked up and I received a bag with at least 3 rotted apples!! Unacceptable. Otherwise, you can select fresh.

Sweet nothings? Hardly. Sweet lots-of-things. Fugi apples are very high on the sweetness scale. However, they're also high in fiber, which makes for a great smoothie base, which is how we use them. Well, aside from the time we grab one to eat out of hand, as they're absolutely delicious by themselves. And, they have very little center-portion - which most people discard. I'm strange in lots of things, and most fruits have me eating everything but the stem - of which, I'm annoyed, these have next to none, which deprives me of my otherwise-handy handle that I get with other varieties, and most other fruits, too. Small complaint; I usually just reserve that end for last and extract it after I've separated the meat from the bone, so to speak ☺

Unmm, NO!!! These DO NOT taste like the Fuji Apples that I used to purchase in Texas. These are tasteless and not as sweet as they should be. Fuji Apples are second on the list of the sweetest apples available and these are bland apples virtually no taste.

There are apples, and then there are apples and these are the best apples I've ever purchased! I live 40 miles from my Sam's Club and I'll gladly drive the distance to get these. Put them in the refrigerator and bite into one when it's cold. This tastes just like it came off the tree. These apples are super juicy as well, not dry at all. My favorite apples to purchase! Gourmet apples!

Wowee, these apples lasted a month in my fridge & were still as crisp as the day I purchased them, at the end of the month. I hope the company has our health in mind & they provide quality, healthy apples to us. We are definitely dependent upon our growers to provide healthy produce.

Apples were crisp and tasty with a great price.

Very good quality, tastes great. Big sizes, shared with hubby for mid day snack.

These apples are very tasty & crispy

Don’t seem as good as once was
