Interesting turn to this thread. I'll take pork barbecue over an apple any day.

Nothing beats a perfectly ripe, crisp sweet-tart Macintosh. The perfect Apple. And a decent computer if you're into that sorta thing.

I just got first o' the season Honeycrisps and Macs at my local farmer's market.Lavabe wrote:You have to wait until the right season. They usually make their way into the stores mid-September through mid-October. Having said that, the Kiwis are now starting to grow them to serve the US market during the off-season.lawgrad91 wrote:I had forgotten how much I liked Jazz until you mentioned them.

I have some bungee cords! I could ride on the top of the good Capt's land ship, like Slim Pickens on the missile in Dr Strangelove! That certainly would be an entrance.
Just to clarify, we WILL be in full regalia (whatever that happens to be) for Brunchgate on the 18th. It's the Elon game where I'm not sure when we'll arrive.

Re: Your favorite snacking apple
Honeycrisp are my favorite, definitely. Nothing else comes close to it for crispness, which is my main criterion for a good snacking apple. Grannysmith are good too, but I have to put peanut butter on them or they're a little too much for me to eat raw.

I've never tried Honeycrisps, and I couldn't find them in the grocery store this weekend. I did, however, get Granny Smiths. And peanut butter.bjornolf wrote:Honeycrisp are my favorite, definitely.

Ymmm ... Granny Smith apples with peanut butter. (As an aside, Granny Smiths also make the best caramel apples. The sweet-tart combo is yummy.)

Re: Your favorite snacking apple
Honeycrisps sure are crisp yet juicy. But the few I've had have lacked real flavor. Maybe a farmstand honeycrsip would be better than a storebought one.bjornolf wrote:Honeycrisp are my favorite, definitely.

I can tell you where to get a GREAT assortment if you are in northern NJ (Bergen County).DukeUsul wrote:Honeycrisps sure are crisp yet juicy. But the few I've had have lacked real flavor.

Re: Your favorite snacking apple
okay, okay, okay...
after reading post after post after post about apples I will buy some today. We've mostly been keeping berries and stone fruit around the house lately; but I will be sure to throw in some apples when I go shopping today.
My question is, cold or room temp?

Re: Your favorite snacking apple
Keeping them in the refrigerator stops the ripening and keeps them from going soft and mushy..... unless they were that way when you bought them.bluebutton wrote:okay, okay, okay...
