You're buying shitty apples.
If they're mealy, you're probably buying Red Delicious, a horrible mainstream cultivar that are known for that. I've never tasted another apple with that awful texture. You could probably try some other varieties and not have that problem.
Those are the absolute worst apples. They've been selecvtively bred for storage and appearance vs. flavor and texture. Buying the most horrible, mainstream variety is what I'd expect from a conservative community mod. Maybe get a different kind? Pretty much anything... gala, fuji, cosmic crisp, envy.
Sounds reasonable. Apples are pretty basic fruit. I'd rather eat peppers and a tomato as far as fruit goes.
