I'm remembering exactly what you're describing about Red Delicious.
 
My Grandfather had a Red Delicious tree which was probably from the 'original' stock, and it was absolutely 'delicious' when the apples were ripe and ready.  Snappy, crisp, sweet and juicy.   They went soft and mealy really fast, though.  By Christmas, they were just nothing, but off the tree as they ripened they were outstanding.  I'm trying to grow one to replace that memory.  Hope I've got the right one.  There are so many 'bad' ones around it is almost embarrassing to admit I'm trying to grow a Red Delicious.  Never give in!
