Ser + adjective expresses a characteristic and estar + adjective expresses a condition.
It seems to me therefore that even a delicious apple must be described as a condition since not all apples are delicious.
I have a great book entitled "1001 Pitfalls in Spanish" by Barron's. It examines these type of confusing issues quite well.
I hope this helps,
