Does anyone else here hate the texture of eating apples? It's like sweet juicy sandpaper.

I don't find them very sweet, but they are a lot more like sandpaper on a windy day at the beach.

I love apples provided they are very crispy, very juicy, and somewhat tart.

I don't like the mix of rough, juicy, crunchy and sweet too...
Though the apple's sweetness and flavor itself isn't my preferred flavor either.

Verdict: Tolerable after 3 or 5 bites of it.

I am okay with apples. I don't like the texture of pears though.

I very much enjoy apples. This definitely won't help with enjoying it, but if you eat an apple from bottom up, you can eat the entire apple, including the core! This way, you're gradually eating the core rather than all at once. Still avoid the seeds though.

When I was about 36 years old, apples suddenly started tasting way too sweet

Perception changed

Apples stayed the same

That sounds like the Red Delicious apple. Which is still around because it has a long shelf life and is easy to produce. It wouldn't be around if there were a quick way to change the varieties coming out of orchards. It takes years for an apple tree to produce. Which means that land is non-productive while you wait.

Just about anything else tastes better. Go to an orchard in season if you want the very best apples. Buying direct from the orchard can be very cheap if you don't count the cost of getting there.
