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.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
