There is no comparison.

17. Every other apple tastes sour in comparison to the Honeycrisp.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. Oh, man, they're like candy!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I have a Honeycrisp tree!

It's fairly small so I only got a few apples off it last year; hope for more this year.

[hippywife]

6. I usually use Granny Smith in pies...

I'll have to try using Pippins this year. Thanks. :)

[Tikki]

8. Crispy and just the correct amount of tangy so....

that you don't have to use too much sugar. There are really good Pippin
Pie recipes all over the internets...
Here in SoCal the chain grocery stores
start carrying the Pippins about the second week or so in November and
run through December.

11. Oh my gosh!

I haven't done that in ages! :hide:

[Brickbat]

9. For what? Eating? Pies? Jelly? For eating, I picked other: the Honeycrisp, a Minnesota

invention.

Otherwise I go with the apples off my trees, one of which is a Duchess and the other two I haven't identified yet.

[redqueen]

16. There I clarified.

Cameo is a mighty fine apple.

[mikita]

19. + 1

[ccinamon]

34. Cameo is the best!

Then Granny Smith, then Braeburn

21. Mine too.

They just have more flavor. It's too bad they're so hard to find here.

22. Pink lady

24. Pink Lady

My favorite used to be Granny Smith until Pink Lady came along. Now it's these lovelies - the perfect mix of sweet and tart with good firm bite. I may buy me some today.

[femmocrat]

30. I love them too!

They have a bit of a lemony flavor. :9

[KatyaR]

46. Me, too,

and I HATE raw apples, but Pink Ladies are good!

[Paper Roses]

25. McCoun, best apple available in this neck of the woods. n/t

40. Indeed, how can a poll on apples not have Braeburns????

Yet the delicious apples from my tree in the back yard, right off the tree at peak flavor are beyond compare.

[Blue_In_AK]

43. +1

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

31. For eating? As opposed to....what? Throwing?(nt)

[PeaceNikki]

35. Baking.

Baking requires a specific texture, firmness and flavor depending on the application.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

41. Nah

I just buy me them Hostess Fruit Pies. My, oh my. They're tasty!

You have my permission to chuck an apple at me now...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

32. I said other because I don't know one apple from another

I just eat them. Don't get to know their names first. Seems kind of personal to me...

[Paladin]

36. Braeburn or Pink Lady (n/t)

[triguy46]

37. My favorite is an odd one, I think its called an "orange"

[GoCubsGo]

38. Golden Delicious and any of it's crosses, like Johnagold...

...Ginger Gold, Honey Gold, Gala, Cameo... BUT, they have to be ripe. Most of the Golden Ds I see tend to be green, which means they were picked before they were ripe. Nothing beats a ripe Golden Delicious, not even any of its cultivars.

[yellowdogintexas]

39. OTHER: JAZZ...there is no other apple like it

I prefer it even to HoneyCrisp and Pink Lady.

It is a cross of Gala and Braeburn and it is crisp and tangy and sweet and almost tastes effervescent.

I also like Pacific Rose a lot

[Blue_In_AK]

42. Where are the Braeburns?

[Blue_In_AK]

44. "Delicious" apples

are not.

[fizzgig]

45. pink ladies

they are tart, but sweet and are nice and crisp. they also go great with peanut butter :9
