Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, and Fuji.

bought some luscious honey crisps today for eating... big, crisp, red/gold, and each bite tasting like autumn. the sort of apple i'd use for toffee apples.
(reminiscent of a cox's orange pippin)

of course, it goes without saying that granny smiths are the ONLY apple pie apple to consider -- unless y'all know something different and can persuade me of its merits!

Bramley seedling for cooking.

Macouns are the best eating apple.

 

[LLCox]

Me like Gala.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Courtland and Macoun.

Northern Spy

Definitely worth the effort to find Northern Spy apples for pies... tart and don't turn into mush.

If anyone ever comes across Ambrosia apples, snatch then up!
They are like Honey Crisp and Fujis had a baby. Pretty sure Pink Lady is an aunt.

They are yummy but I wish they were crispier!

For eating, I like sweet, crisp and juicy varieties like Gala and Fuji. I recently had an amazing apple from a friend's garden - it had the look and flavour of a Russet, but without the mealiness that they often have. I have no idea what it was called.
For baking, I like Granny Smith, with Bramley as a close second.

Empire or Cortland because they're easily found and just right for eating.

Russets when you can find them, which is rare for supermarkets, sometimes at farmer's markets.

We've been buying more from farmer's markets. More and more the supermarket apples seem like they're the ones stored in low oxygen warehouses since the previous year... kinda dry, skin going wrinkly, and generally on the way to being yucky.

i started this thread because i was having trouble thinking of anything that might not get construed--however strangely--as a political post *shrugs* kinda boring, i know.

not really, william tell had no political thought in his mind when he shot the , er, fruit, from that kids head... it was NOT an act of political rebellion.

Agreed. I thought the same thing after I posted my praise of them.

Really appreciating Granny Smith apples this year. Had one for an afternoon snack a few times this week.
