Adam's Apples

Most of the time, my comparison posts start by introducing the apples and asking, which is best? This isn't that kind of thing. Instead the question is, will these apples go together as well as I imagine?

This head-to-head became inevitable the moment I first tasted malty Frostbite. Wickson has some similar flavors and qualities, and both make weighty historical claims. One thing that might not be obvious from my photo is that these apples are both small. Frostbite is about 2 inches in diameter, and Wickson is a large crabapple. But which is best?

Is there a fitter name for an apple that is cold-hardy down to −40° F? (The tree, not the fruit.) But the best thing? It's really good.
