    I used to hate apples but now I am absolutely crazy about gala apples. No clue why. And I hate peanut butter, but the thought of dipping gala apple slices into peanut butter is now super appealing. Weird. I wish I had peanut butter in the house.

    My preference is Pink Lady...No nutrition info. on them...They are a crisp apple...

    Here is a website with Nutrition info. on pink lady apples. You can also search Pink Lady Apples on MFP on your food tracker and it will have options.

    I second the Honeycrisp. Try it. They should call it the Yummycrisp. Yum.

    Agreed. Anyone saying otherwise has not had a Honeycrisp!

    Macouns! I was (and still am) utterly shocked that no one besides me mentioned Macouns! Everyone I know LOVES them! I did a search of the internet to see if I could find any clues why. Wikipedia agrees with me that Macouns are "regarded to be the finest eating apple in the world."

    It also states "Macouns are also very popular at roadside stands and pick-your-own farms. Availability is generally October through November. Aside from its short season of availability, the popularity of the apple is somewhat compromised by the problems it gives orchardists. The Macoun has a short stem, and there is a tendency for the apple to push itself off the branch as the fruit matures; also, the Macoun tends not to produce reliable crops each year, with a good harvest followed by a sparser one."

    Ok you apple fans, do yourselves a favor and if you happen to be lucky enough to encounter a Macoun apple, by all means eat it! You'll be in for a treat!!

    The store was out of Pink Lady apples once and the person stocking the produce told me to try a Honeycrisp, they are almost the same he said.

    No.No.They are not.

    Pink Lady apples are the best. :-)

    Honeycrisp were just too "mushy" for me. I like a crisp apple. It has to be a pink lady or a granny smith. Can't stand an apple that is mushy when I bite it.

    Please tell me I'm not the only one.

    For that reason, I can't eat apple pie either....LOL Except when pregnant and then my husband was totally amazed I was eating a slice.

    I don't know if One Kind is better than another, Nutritionally speaking. But I agree, GALA is The Best!!

    No newfangled apples for me thankyou.

    Beauty of Bath are the nicest apples in God's own country. Don't think you'll find them in supermarkets though.

    Egremont Russet

    Cox's Orange Pippin

    Lord Lambourne

    Ashmead's Kernel.

    I love the apple and of course, its glorious product: Cider (thats "hard Cider" for those of you across the pond).

    To quote Fantastic Mr Fox: "It's like drinking sunbeams and rainbows"

    the really, really dark red delicious, but only when they are firm, crisp and untarnished

    and for the record, it is WRONG to wrap an apple in plastic wrap - gross!

    There are so many delicious varieties. Honey crisp or pink lady from the grocery store, but my favorites are from local farmer's market.
