Two crisp, light, apples with almost attenuated flavors. The idea for this match up felt obvious from the moment I had my first Aurora earlier this year. Aurora Golden Gala (R) meets a yellow late-season Mutsu. (Mutsu is often sold green.) Aurora is premium-sized, what you'd find in a supermarket, and Mutsu is just huge. (The photo understates Mutsu's size.) So, a lot of apple to eat at one sitting! But I ran into some surprises at first bite.
