I am starting a thread on my love and adoration for Honeycrisp apples and how I can not ever wait for the fall season when the first shipment comes in .... Anyone else agree??

The first Honeycrisps I had were from Minnesota! I actually think they might be some of the best! I think they are always imported (is that the right word..lol) I don't know if they are grown here but I was going to find out and also save some of the organic seeds I get ... one day I'll try growing a tree... Hahahaha!

Lilwing: do you get your honeycrisps at the market or do those grow in Texas. Minnesota grows lots of honeycrisps and they are especially delicious this year. Hope you find them soon.

I think I've seen Envy apples! I almost bought one! (My husband doesn't eat apples so I get a couple or so just for myself!) ... I don't see how he doesn't eat apples...oh, wait..if they are in a PIE he does!

I also share the Honeycrisp love. I also enjoy Envy apples. |

I wish we could do an exchange of apples. LOL! ... I've never even heard of Buckley Giant but I guess that's because of where I live!

You gals are right on the money, Honeycrisp are the best.......my next fav is "Buckley Giant", grows on the west side of the mtns. here in Washington State, and are pretty hard to find nowadays. Enjoy the short season for the Honeycrisp!!

I don't think I have tried jonagolds. I have ALWAYS wanted to make a pie with them. They are on the higher side for sure price-wise, and so I only get one or two apples at a time. I absolutely love to just eat them.. One of these days I WILL make a pie though! :D Baked apples or a apple crisp with them would be wonderful too. I will try the jonagold sometime!

Have you tried Jonagolds? I feel about them the way you do about the Honeycrisps. (so great in pies and also for munching!) Galas are on sale cheap here this week but the Honeycrisps are there too and running about $1.50 which seems pretty high. What are your favourite ways to use these apples...baking or eating and do they store well?
