Red delicious if you can get them fresh. By far the best eating apple but few people have ever had one that wasn't ruined on the way to a store. I had 40 acres of red delicious behind my house for 15 years. Not once did I ever finish eating one even fresh picked off the tree. Grainy and bland. YUCK!

Pristine is a great late summer apple and end up the season with Goldrush and Pink Lady.

YUCK! x2 Sorry BernieB, but I will have to agree with Michigan on this one. Won't even argue about it. There is a good reason they are cutting them all down in Washington and replacing them with better apples.

I have always thought that "delicious" in the name was a true misnomer for red delicious apples. They are barely edible. Keith

Red delicious is a misnomer, they are the least "apple" tasting apple there is. Bland, bland, bland and too mushy for a decent pie too. I'm a Fuji fan, and gala a close second.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I've tried honeycrisp. They're OK, but IMO, very over priced compared to other apples I like just as well. Pink Lady (my favorite) is comparable, but almost half the price in my area.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
