For hands-on game day snack inspo, the brand is hosting an Instagram Live event this week with food editor and author of the cookbook Live Life Deliciously, Tara Teaspoon (@tarateaspoon).

For Valentine's Day, the Cosmic Crisp® apple is featuring a trio of recipes that are simple to prepare, yet impressive to serve. Each one also features how uniquely versatile the apple is from roasting and cooking to baking. This is thanks to a perfectly balanced flavor, crisp texture, exceptional juiciness and striking color that took over 20 years of research, development and classic breeding to achieve. With increased volume this year, consumers will have a much easier time finding their new favorite that's exclusively grown in Washington State.

"Inspiring people to enjoy Cosmic Crisp® apples in new ways is what our brand is all about," said Kathryn Grandy, Chief Marketing Officer of Proprietary Variety Management, who is the company responsible for marketing the brand. "It's remarkable to have a fruit that really can be used for any type of cooking and baking. Because it is naturally slow to brown, it's really ideal for snack boards and entertaining. Now is a great time to find Cosmic Crisp® in grocery stores nationwide," she added.
