    I only really like Granny Smiths, I like the tartness.

    One of my friends just gave me a big bag of crabapples from her tree though and I made a bunch of pie filling with them. They're super tart like I like but the texture isn't great for eating so I usually just bake with them.

    i am hoping to go apple and pear picking this weekend! I prefer granny smith for baking or dipped in caramel and il eat any other variety. Its not my favorite fruit though.

    In the area in which I live, there are many Mac orchards. I prefer Gala apples myself

    We grow granny smith and golden delicious and free apples are the best apples. :)

    But, my favorites are the those little hard and sour wild apples that grow up on the ridge behind our house. Most people only use them for cooking but I love to eat them raw.

    Honeycrisp, Zestar, & Sweet Tango, in that order.

    My neighbor has an apple orchard with all of these trees, so I just have to walk down the road to get my apples in the fall. I have a Zestar and Sweet Tango with me today @ work for my morning and afternoon snacks.

    girlinahat, some people from the U.S. like to visit the U.K. to sample the ale. I'd want to visit in autumn and sample the apples.

    what annoys me the most is that the majority of the supermarkets don't sell many British apples. Asda seem to sell primarily French and New Zealand apples, which is just ludicrous.

    Of course it's not just apples for eating that we get here in the West Country - this is CIDER country round here.......

    I love me some scrumpy! Oo-ar....

    Anyway I really miss Bramley apples. Pies and crumbles without them just aren't the same. Plus they're huge and awesomely cheap.
    In the US the ones I like are McIntosh, Jonagold and Mutzu

    Apples everything lately. My brother just bought a house that has a apple tree that's loaded right now so he brings a bunch everytime he's over. We've made apple bread, Apple sauce, Apple crisp, we use apple in some of our jams.
