Oh I love a good Granny Smith the more tarty the better but a Braeburn apple is a nice one too

Golden Delicious for me...

the secret to granny smith is to have it on one of my world class spinach salads with my homemade vinaigrette.



the other way to have them would be covered in caramel and chocolate...but i havent had them that way in years (see: mrs prindables)


I love Fuji and Gala apples.

Like most every one Honey Crisps, Pink Ladies, Jazz, Fuji, Gala, had a few others but cant remember their names boo!

I dont care for tart ones only cause i have sweet tooth. I like the ones that are a crisp texture too.

Found this recipe for pb flavored yogurt. and adore it.

I followed it loosely doing like 1/2 to 3/4 cup yogurt with 1tbsp pb and cinnamon to taste. Then threw in some chai seeds and it thickened up to the consistency of pb so I use it like i do pb without the guilt.

I sort of overed cinnamoned mine but its still turned out awesome and got me to think I am gonna do just cinnamon and yogurt with chai seeds and see how that goes for my apples.

Thank you everyone for all the opinions, I love apples! I see a few mentioned here that I have never tried. I will be trying them as I get a chance and singing...I like to eat, eat, eat Apples...

@Divalivious, That sounds good! I wonder what I could come up with using PB2? I need to check into that as I always have PB2 here.

Edit: Now that I look at the recipe, I bet I could revise it to include the PB2, instead of peanut butter.

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

This is me!! I LOVE pears and eat one everyday!! I like Golden or Red delicious apples but will have to try some of the other suggestions!!

I have a granny smith every day.

If your Red Delicious is mealy, it's because it's been in storage or in the store for too long. I can tell you from first-hand experience that they do not come off the tree that way. Fresh Red Delicious are the best apples I've ever had.

I recently tried a new variety called Junami and it is my current favorite, but it has a VERY short season. Like, a two week season.

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.

Here is a link to their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/PinataApple

So going to have to check these out, I live in Seattle! lol

Blech. They're Stemilt apples. Stemilt = not a very nice company.

Braeburn are the BEST apples I've tasted, closely followed by a Royal Gala. I've yet to try this Fuji though.

I ONLY eat granny smith apples! I do love them! However, I have an allergy to apples (weird, I know) so I only eat them once in a great blue moon (I can get away with once in a while otherwise bad things happen lol).

Macintosh red are my favourite. Not too sweet and have a lovely texture mmm

A lot of hate for the Red Delicious but they're my favorite! I've never had one that was grainy/mealy...

Ambrosia apples are definitely my favorite. Followed by Fujis. Interesting to see people talking about Granny Smiths, as those are baking apples, and aren't really meant for out of hand eating.

I've never seen Granny Smiths as baking apples? Bramleys are cooking apples (and very good microwaved with a few raisins in the middle).

Anyway, Russets, Coxs. Anything with taste & texture, nothing worse than biting into an apple that crumbles in your mouth or tastes of cardboard. Out of preference I'd buy English apples but that's because we have some lovely apples & I'd like to see more of them in the shops Given that there's supposed to be over 2,300 varieties in England I think it's rather sad that all you ever see is Golden/Red Delicious (not English) Granny Smith (not English), Cox's, Worcestershire, Russets. Maybe another variety on occasion.

Sorry for the English-centric nature, I'm sure there's an equivalent number of varieties everywhere else, but it does seem silly not to be making the most of local produce!

Oh - and eaten with a small lump of sharp cheddar... mmmmmm :bigsmile:

New Zealand apples are the best! :-)
Granny Smiths are for cooking - get the hubby making an apple pie or apple crumble! Cream or Ice cream is additional.

I LOVE Granny smith apples!! But I also love the Washington apples!

XFitMojoMom

awesome chart - I like granny Smith, Honey Crisp and MacIntosh (only in season, off the tree, apple picking with the kidlets.)

jessicawrites

There is such a thing as an excellent Red Delicious--fresh and crisp and juicy--but they are a finicky apple, and it's easy for them to get mealy. If I were you, I'd try them in the fall, and make sure they're very hard before you buy.

Blasphemy! :laugh: Bramley apples are soooo much better for cooking, i've always known Granny Smiths as eating apples!

SteffieMark

I see a lot saying Granny Smiths are for baking. I think it's just personal preference. I told the hubby that last night, he doesn't care what they're for, he loves just eating them. I think they're horrible unless in a pie! lol

I tried a Jazz apple for my late snack yesterday. It was very sweet, maybe the sweetest apple I ever tried. It was almost too sweet. I found it to be quite hard too, like almost like biting through soft wood, if that makes any sense.

EMPIRE APPLES!!!
they're a mix between red delicious and Macintosh YUM!

Really? The Jazz apples I bought were very crispy (I like them that way), but not "hard." Also, they weren't overly sweet...actually, they were kinda tart.

I suppose it could have had the wrong sticker on it. It was quite different than apples I have had in the past though. I really love crisp apples too, but not hard.
