    Most of my friends know me well enough to know I have an addiction to apples and peanut butter. I eat it at least once a day for my snack. I have been on a search, a quest of sorts, to find the PERFECT tasting apple. I have been trying different varieties and here is what I have found. I like slightly sweet but, not too sweet. I do not care for tart at all. I love Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp. My husband swears by these GREEN Granny Smith apples so, today I tried one instead of my usuals. I have to tell you, I HATED it. I'm not sure what it was about it, tartness perhaps? But, it just was not good. I ate it because I'm not wasteful but, I'll not eat another. What type of apple is your favorite and why? I want to try more! Muhahahaha


    boooooooooooo on the green apples, so not good, too sour for me!!!!

    Piñata apple

    Directly from FB page: Pinata is a new apple variety from Washington state. It's a cross between Golden Delicious, Cox's Orange Pippin and the Duchess of Oldenburg varieties.

    I found them at Wal-Mart and they come in a zippered bag. They are a little smaller than a regular apple but they brand them so kids eat them. There always crisp and I have to say I like them better than red delicious.

    I cant eat apples anymore, but when i did, i preferred Granny Smith or a barely ripe Golden Delicious (when they still have that slightly green tint).

    I usually eat my fruit (except berries) with salt or salt/lemon pepper blend. Salt brings out the sweetness of the apples.

    Pink Lady. Sweet, but not too sweet with a little bit of sour. Perfect.

    I wish I had a new one to recommend, but like you, I prefer Galas and Fujis. That's all I ever eat. :smile:

    Funny thing is, when I was growing up in Michigan, the only apples we ever had around the house were those darn Red Delicious kind, which are okay, but they're kind of "blah" tasting, IMO.

    It wasn't until many years later that I discovered Gala and Fuji, both of which are just about perfect, as apples go.

    I love virtually every kind of apple....(with the exception of the last one I had I spit it out because it tasted like it had been bathed in chemicals...Yuck!)

    I love the new Sweet Tango's and Honeycrisp's also~ I thought Granny Smith Green apples were primarily for cooking?

    I like Ambrosia, Pink Lady, Gala and Golden Delicious.

    Edit: And I eat an apple with peanut butter almost every day too. :smile:

    Granny Smith! I love how sweet and tart they are. I hate plain old boring red apples such as Red Delicious. Blech!
    I have not tried other red (or red-ish) varieties, maybe my next trip to the store. I was eyeing some Gala apples last week but got my Granny Smith instead. :heart:

    I am a gala apple fan. Though my fruit of choice over the apple, is the pear.

    I LOVE Grapples! When my hubs was the shop manager for a trucking company here in town that has since gone out of business, they had a reefer unit go out on a trailer that had Grapples on it and the buyer said they did not want them so they passed them out to everyone and my hubs brought home several flats of them and they were soooooo good!!!
  • Gala apples!! And red delicious :) I must explore others as well

    This song is so gonna be stuck in my head now

    Honeycrisp. Hands down. End of discussion.
    This, but when they are too expensive I buy Fuji.

    I enjoy Pink Lady and Ambrosia apples, I haven't tried many other varieties that I've wanted to such as HoneyCrisp, Jazz, etc. Grapples are amazing, too. They cost way too much though.

    Empire apples are the best, look pretty, they are small, round with a deep red colour and always so shiny. They are crisp, juicy and sweet! Perfect!

    My favorites are Vermont Honeys. I can't get them here in Oregon so I buy Honeycrisp, Figi, and Braeburn.
