Adam's Apples

Not sure what to make of today's apple, called "Pixie." Probably it is Pixie Crunch , though it is a bit large for that, a large medium, barely ribbed, and moderately oblated at top and bottom.  ¶  Photo:  Pixie Crunch from 2020. Color and lenticel dots match.

Today I learned that Pixie Crunch, a modern variety less than 30 years old, is an "heirloom" apple because, apparently, it is not Honeycrisp , Gala , or Red Delicious ( Not, by the way.) My two tasting samples are small and medium, slightly oblate spheres with no appreciable ribbing.  These attractive compact apples are rock hard in my hand with a stripey red blush. Tiny, distinct tan lenticel dots lend a visual accent.
