    Red apples are the healthiest I think - I have braeburn apples or gala .. both taste exactly the same virtually :)

    I'm with the above post, I always choose Royal Gala or Braeburn which come circa 50 calories per 100grams

    But in theory, shouldn't the less sweet apples be fewer in calories? Such as a Golden Delicious

    I'm kinda thinking that they would be negligibly different nutrition wise. There might be small differences, but in the grand scheme of things, nothing to write home about. I choose either what tastes better or what's cheaper.

    I'm not big on green apples or the basic red ones, but I usually get Gala, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady! :)

    They're all pretty much the same, just different tastes. My favorites are Fuji. Good to eat plain and fantastic in pie.

    I used to use Macs exclusively for pie, but couldn't find any at Christmas, so I used Fuji because it's what I had and they made a fantastic pie!

    Fugi & Crispin are my favorites

    Love: Honey Crisp, Gala, Golden Delicious

    Like: Red Delicious, Braeburn

    Granny Smith is the devil of the apple family and needs to be destroyed :-)

    Everyone says that, so I tried them this year and was disappointed. They were good, but not as great as people say. Then I heard Pink Lady is an awesome apple and tried those. Eh.

    I still prefer the Fuji.

    Everyone always talks about the Honeycrisp but the big Fugi is SOOOO much better. Don't get the tiny ones, get the big ones!

    RML_16 and I wouldn't steer you wrong!

    Once again: Stay AWAY.... FAR AWAY from Grannie Smith! She is a WITCH!!! :)

    Granny Smith is my favorite, y'all are haters. ;)

    buuuut in terms of calories, I cant imagine they vary terribly far from one another, except when it comes to their SIZE

    I love apples....pink lady and honey crisp top the list.

    Make sure to get organic though. Apples top the list for most pesticides.
