Apples

What brand of apples do you buy? I love apples that really crunch when you bite into them. I am so tired of buying apples that just fall apart in your mouth. Please recommend a brand of crisp apples. TIA!

Re: Apples

  • I had read some great things about Honeycrisp apples and I finally found some at Publix. They're huge, crunchy and delicious. Now I want an apple.

  • Honeycrisp are definitely the sh!t, but not always available and expensive to get organic. I like Royal Gala as a good second, similar to honeycrips, and not as expensive organic. 

    Since apples are like, #2 on the dirty dozen list, I always buy them organic. In order to keep apples from cross breeding through bugs and pollination, they get the crap sprayed out of them.

  • My fav apple is a Fugi apple.  I dont like greener apples because they're too tart for me.  Fugi is like a cross between green and red and its perfection.

  • I'm so obsessed with Pink Lady apples. They are SUPER sweet. They're very crisp in season, which I think they are now. They lose some of the crunch when they aren't as fresh -- I find that Target has crunchier ones than publix.

  • Pink Lady and Fuji apples are my favorites.

  • That's funny, I love the apples that fall apart.  My favorite are Rome apples.  I thought that Red Delicious apples were pretty crunchy.

    The one on Mobile Hwy. It's a small store too. I'm surprised the one on University doesn't have an organic produce section.

    I'm another one that not a fan of overly crunchy. I like crisp. My absolute favorite are the Golden Delicious because they're...well...delicious. I use these for my pies too.
