Honey Crisp Apples!!!

kayemme

honeycrisps are my second favorite only to macouns which are in season RIGHT NOW! and they're so delicious. they're considerably smaller than the honeycrisp and are nice and tart, very crisp and about 75-80cals each. even a honeycrisp at 150-200 calories is fiberous and far more nutritionally packed than a bottle of soda, which is the same calorie breakdown... so eat 'em up!

great with stinky cheese.

I just want to brag -- Honeycrisps were developed at the University of Minnesota where I go to school! The new Zestar apples were also developed here. (Not that I had ANYTHING to do with either one. I'm not in that area of study at all.)

And they are worth every calorie!

I live in New England and never ever seen these. I'm going to go searching now.

i live in new england, too. i haven't seen the honeycrisps yet, but truthfully, i don't go to the grocery store much. i know they were around last year at roughly this time.

New England people - they're in the grocery stores here Just saw some at both Shaw's and Hannaford over the weekend. Didn't get them because they were MASSIVE. But they're in!

i have heard these apples are very good, i am SO picky with my apples!! i like them to be very crispy and juicy, i hate mushy apples! yuk! i see people are saying they are high i sugar and cals (?) seems like every is nowadays! i'm still going to look for them!

I'm the same way...I hate mealy apples. Honeycrisps are VERY crisp. Very sweet too. I love them and I'm not usually an apple fan. They're not here yet [Canada] - not that I've seen anyway, but they should be making an appearance in the next few weeks. I'd say give them a try, you'll be hooked

they are consistently big apples, that's why they're almost 200 cals each, but worth every bite and literally could be a meal in itself.

Those sound good, I do like galas though. Has anyone ever had a grapeapple... its a genetic cross between grapes and apples, so more expensive since there is no tree. They are SO good, but hard to find and (like I said) expensive.

I had a Honey crisp apple after lunch. It was a small one too. I also had a Skinny Pumpkin Muffin I made from a recipe I found in the Parade section of the newspaper. I use whole wheat flour for everything and splenda and they turned out really good. I also add real Pumpkin to my steel cut oats every morning. Pumpkins are all over now, so don't get the canned variety, buy a real pumpkin, bake it or boil it and mash it up and you can freeze whatever you don't use. So much better in everything than canned.

the only thing i could find on the grapple was that they're just apples soaked in grape juice to make them extra sweet... not that they were genetic crossings.
