It wasn't you. I've been lurking for a while before I started posting and it seems that Eric lives to derail threads with wrongness.8

I will, however, say that I'm jealous of all of you who are getting in the really good Honeycrisps. So far, the ones that have shown up locally have been pretty small and beat up looking. Still tasty, but slim pickings.
Yes, two years ago Honeycrisps were the biggest apples I've ever seen. Not so last year. They said it was the drought, but we didn't have a drought this year and the Vermont Honeycrisps are tiny. They are bigger at the apple orchard a few towns away, though.0 -

Whereas an apple pie you make lighter will have a lot less calories and virtually no fat. What I look at is not only the calorie count but the fat content which is what most diet plans also look at. Like a salad with ranch dressing may be the equivalent to a hamburger on the caloric side, but on the artery side it's much healthier because it doesn't have as much fat.
I've been looking at pie crust recipes from 1945 - 2006 recently and double crust recipes all have about a cup of butter / lard / shortening.

I can't even get my hands on these mythical fruits to try them. All the honeycrisps grown in NZ are exported to the US to keep you lot happy in your off season, other than some sold at the orchard gate, which is several hundred kilometres from me on a different island...2 -

I had to Google, because I'd heard of their legendariness here. They seem to be pretty particular about their climate, so not many orchards here growing them, and as I said, almost all go to export. Tis fine, we have plenty of awesome apple varieties in NZ (which you Aussies can now finally enjoy too!!).1 -

The last 2 years the honeycrisps here were medium-sized. Definitely not bigger than other apples.
Haven't checked yet this year.0 -

They are wonderful. The skin is thin so you don't need to peel them. Koru from NZ are great too!0 -

Don't need to peel any apple unless you have some serious dental issues.2 -
Apples have about 60-120 calories depending on the size.
There's not really any such thing as a zero calorie food, although I guess you could try ice cubes !0 -
Blessed are the ignorant who think they burn 300cals every time they chew an apple.4

Yeah, who peels apples just for eating?
Although there was some thread the other day where I learned that some people peel peaches, so MFP is educational.2 -
