Further Posted November 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2017 I'm really liking Ambrosia apples this year. Haven't had any cider yet. So what apple are you eating ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted November 15, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 15, 2017 I just got Smittens for the first time, but haven't had any yet. I gave some to my Mom who said they were "soft" and she liked them for her "old teeth". That's not a ringing endorsement. Here's an interesting article from USA Today about the marketing of different apple types. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 15, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 15, 2017 I think they are called Empire. My wife buys them from the orchard where they are grown and they bag them up for her in a plain bag so I can't even go check to see if I remember right. She insists on that kind of apple if they are available and complains if they are not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 15, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 15, 2017 I think they're local Gala's. They're good and only $0.79/lb at the Korean market. Dear leader keeps us well fed and we are thankful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted November 15, 2017 Share #9 Posted November 15, 2017 Fuji is the go-to, but I am eating a bag of "Sweetie" apples from Trader Joe's, they are ok. 'Sweetie™' is the trademark for apples of the 'PremA280' cultivar. This apple originated as a seedling from 'Royal Gala' × 'Braeburn',[1] that ripens slightly before 'Royal Gala'.[2] PLU code 3628 has been issued for this apple.[1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted November 15, 2017 Share #14 Posted November 15, 2017 Fuji are my favorite. I do like a nice Honey Crisp but not at $4 a pound. A couple weeks ago I got a 5-lb bag of Honey Crisps at Wegmans for $4. Jackpot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate them and we only had to throw two away. I generally avoid the multiple-pound bags, because you can't inspect each one - but at that price, even tossing two we came out ahead.

ChrisL Posted November 15, 2017 Share #23 Posted November 15, 2017 You guys pay a lot for apples... most varieties are $1.50 a lb at my grocery store with certain veriates .99 a lb. I like to mix it up and have a bunch of different types. I generally avoid red delicious and green apples but have a drawer full of various apples I take to work daily.

I've been eating Honeycrisp, mostly slices slathered with chunky peanut butter or chopped into bitesize pieces, nuked to semi-soft, and added to steel-cut oatmeal. I also have liked every apple I've tasted that starts with "Jon:" Jonathan, Jonafree, etc. which also comes with a good story. A man asked his groundskeeper to cut down an apple tree. He didn't do a good job, it grew back from the stump, and produced great tasting apples and soon a nursery company was taking cuttings to graft onto roots. The man named the apple after his groundskeeper: Jonathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
