I second the suggestion of Ashmead's Kernal. I haven't grown it long (and it keeps being eaten by deer, so it may never mature) but I've bought them from a nearby orchard. They are hard to find, and will never be a major commercial crop, because the fruit is small and ugly. But they are crunchy and taste terrific - it's my family's favorite apple. This is not a fruit for everyone, as it's very tart, but it's also very sweet, and has a pleasant flavor. It's a small russet and keeps for several weeks in the fridge. We finish them before they get too old.
