looking for the best apples

[rcartmell3]

Try an Asian pear. It looks like an apple and has the same texture as an apple but it is a pear

Gala and Fuji.....

You should try some road apples

Braeburn with honeycrisp as a close second. When red delicious are good they're my absolute favorite, but I haven't gotten an actual good one in almost a decade. They all seem to be mealy now. :-(

I wish it would be more available in the stores so that everybody could see how great they are. Luckily there's an orchard just 30 minutes from here where they grow and a lot of inferior sorts too.
Seriously, who needs brittle/mealy apples, ever? Are they good for juice maybe?

Lemonade Apple, just try it.

LOL! Definitely the best apples for throwing at friends and siblings.

Every year we pick two bags. Great for snacking and pies. This a family favorite!

Gala or pink lady.
If you're going to eat a Honey Crisp, make sure it was grown in the Coulee region

I bought a bag of supposedly Honey Crisp from Aldis and the taste more like Sour Crisp. I think this bag was from blending an apple seed with a pack of sweet tarts.

However they're still delicious and I'll eat every one of them.

Gala all the way!

I like Fuji and Gala and honey crisp

+1 on this Galaxy are my favorite though.

I'll second (third??) Galas. Surprisingly juicy and sweet for the price. My bitch (dog) loves 'em too.

Whatever happened to real apples? The embarrassingly high sugar content in Frankenfood jobbies (Jazz, Honeycrisp etc) overwhelms whatever apple taste might have been. MacIntoshes are originals and Northern Spy, Spartans, Courtlands and Empires are properly crisp eating apples. Stores stock them less and less because sweet-toothed couch potato kids increasingly dictate that market and purchasers don't give a hoot whether apples 'keep' anymore.

Someone needs a few more Honeycrisps in their life.

 

[swaybacksteve]

for eating Fuji and Gala...but my favorite apple is Honeycrisp because it is the basis for this wonderful Cider from Williams Cellars which is made locally , in fact just a couple miles from my house.

Actually, as I understand them, the "original" apples in this country were actually quite tart. Certain farmers began cross pollinating and raising new strains to get where we are today. So long as it isn't genetically modified in a lab, I'm fine with that.

Open to corrections if I'm wrong. (Yeah, like that's gonna happen LOL Just kidding.)

Best to ya.

If we're going with favorite apples based on favorite ciders, I have to go with Jonagold.
