Years ago, lived in the Virgin Islands, where the Custard Apple is widely grown, very popular. It’s a terrific fruit, just as you described (once you can get past the skin that looks like it was designed by Home Depot). But high in calories!

We had a white sapote tree in our back yard about 50 years ago. I found the fruit entirely too bland for my taste. There was nothing wrong with it, except the lack of any acidic “zing”.
