  3. Gala
Gala is an apple variety with a sweet, mild taste, a crisp but not firm texture, and a striped or mottled orange or reddish color. Originally from New Zealand in the 1930s, it reproduces clonally, like most so-called apples. In 2018, it surpassed Red Delicious as the top-producing apple variety in the United States, according to the Apple Association of America. For the first time in more than 50 years, any variety produced more than Red Delicious.
