Favorite Eating Apple

What's your favorite apple for eating?
After tasting many apples, I chose Pink Lady. It's fairly sweet, crunchy, with a slight tartness.

Honeycrisp

Which ever apple I'm cutting up to put on my floats while rat trapping !!

w

Fuji , Sliced and spread with chunky peanut butter.

Gala great flavor,doesnt get mealy,great keeper

Hard to pick a favorite since most are so good with different great qualities. Freshness is key though. Many apples from the store taste terrible. I am lucky that my house is surrounded by orchards for several miles. I enjoy them all except Red Delicous. Those are terrible.

X2 Honeycrisp

There are many newer varieties that win most of the blind taste tests they have. (Yes, they have blind taste tests for apples run by ag research folks). I like many of the older varieties, Cox's Orange pippin, Spitzenberg, Gravenstein, Arkansas black, but have also been very impressed with newer ones like 'Honeycrisp' and 'Fuji'.

Macoun has been my favorite the last two years. Before that I ate a lot of liberty

I think this needs to be early , mid and late season it changes every couple of weeks through the season.

early gold and Zestar stand out as early season apples I like

Mid season , cortland has long been a favorite but it can be better or worse with the year sun crisp and snow were also good last year mid season

my favorite late season apple is Arlett , Ida red and ever crisp were also good last year.

There was one my Daughter bought in a bag this winter at walfart. It was a smaller Apple ...talk about the Best!!! Red yellow blush color but wow the flavor. Wish I had kept that bag.

Ambrosia

I prefer Winesap.

Sweet tango, Gala, Yellow delicious, Fuji, Mac, The old common Red Delicious were very good. They just don't grow them anymore. Freshness is very important !

Fireside

Ripe.

Pink lady , and gala .......with salt

you put catsup on beef don't ya??shame on you.

Macintosh..

One that is probably long gone. My Aunt Mildred had a tree she called a winesap medium to large slightly flattened and lopsided apples dark red with a rusty russet. Hard crisp, sweet tart, somewhat dry with red veining at the core. Made the best dried apples for fried pies and a wonderful fine grained and thick apple butter. She made it in a copper pot in the yard over a fire. Last tasted in 1983.

I like them all but when I eat a yellow its hard to stop at one

The worst ever , the thick red skin over cork .

Not sure the name ......maybe red delicious ?

Should be banned or renamed

Lol .......no just on hamburgers. I like a spicy sauce or a rub all cooked in ( not wet ) on a good steak

i've got a foot of pork loin in coke heavily rubbed with lemon pepper in the oven right now.havin bacon for a snack now.

That sounds awesome !

Back to apples...Haralson.

Moosetrot

few trees around and we call em winter apples but they won't be good til others are mush.

2 trees of em on my line i've been eating them off of and rat bait for over 35 yrs.

never liked red or yellow delicous

Gala and Honeycrisp.

Fuji

Honeycrisp

Macintosh fresh picked from the orchards in the Schoharie Valley. Macs need to be fresh. From a grocery store Ganny Smith. Crisp and tart bordering on sour. Generally speaking apples from big box stores suck.

I just planted a Fuji in the food plot

Red Delicious.

Gala if they are ripened properly. Hard to find a Mac that isnt good...

Honeycrisp and Ambrosia.

Ambrosia is sweet corn.

None better!

Honeycrisp

Chestnut crab

Gala and Fuji

Golden delicious

Honey Crisp and Macintosh.

The old varieties of Red Delicious were good. The new ones are almost inedible. I like Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, and Fuji in that order. The locally grown Golden Ds are sweet, crisp, and juicy. I would suspect the grocery store ones are pretty poor.

Early season - Ginger Crisp
mid season - Gala's or honey crisp
late season - Johnny Gold (Also great for keeping long term)

Golden Delicious after it has hung on the tree through a few frosts.

Honey Crisp and Macs

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.

Whinesap. A neighbor had one in their horse pasture when I was a kid. That tree must have liked the natural fertilizer because those apples were so big you couldn't hardly bite them without bloodying up your mouth. I had always thought that the red streaks were my blood.

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.

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.

Winesap here.

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

Keith

Yellow gala, honeycrisp, golden delicious are my favorites red galas are good too

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.

1.. Honeycrisp
2. Pink Lady
3. Fuji

All with Himalayan salt

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.

Grimes Golden gets my vote over yellow/golden delicious.

I like Honeycrisp mostly for the fact that it has opened the eyes of many that there's far better apples then the trio of red delicious, yellow delicious and granny smith.

BTW, granny smith is a far better apple if left to hang on the tree as long as possible.

I grow my own honey crisp apples

Cortlands.

My second favorite

I grow them here.Make great pies also.

Macintosh...
