apples to apples

Sierra Beauty!  I found a place here that sold them today, and even though they were expensive for apples, I couldn't resist getting a few.  They're a variety of apple that I have only ever seen in Berkeley Bowl, they're in season for fewer months than most apples, and Chez Panisse uses only that variety in their desserts when they're available.

I was eating Galas for a long time, but I've grown tired of them and have switched to Empires.

Trying to remember what variety is was that I tried recently that was so sweet it made my teeth hurt, so I didn't want to buy it again.
