Honeycrisp apples - holy canoli!

These apples are unbelievable and even though they're more expensive than other varieties, try them.  They're only available for about 3-4 weeks a year and when they are, they'll substitute for dessert anytime. 

SOOOO true!! I jsut found out about these apples and I'm not a huge apple fan at all!! These are a different story. Try them!!! They taste like apples with an extra kick lol

They're my favorite!  I discovered them last year, and I got my first one of this season yesterday!  It was small and organic and so sweet and good! ^^ <3

I had my first Honey Crisp apple last week.  I went back to the grocers and bought more. Having one for lunch now. 

I also discovered Cornation Grapes. Like Honey Crisp apples they are only available for a few weeks of they year. (NOW) They are also seriously delicious.

Oh yes!  I too just discovered them a couple of weeks ago, and they are third on my all time favorites list now!  Yum!

Yes, I love them so crunchy and sweet. Pink Lady is another really good one that is available for a longer time.

MMM

I am lucky enough to live in the Niagara region where we grow some of these new apples...

They are delish!

Chels, are you in Ontario? I was introduced to Honeycrisps last week while in Wisconsin but I've not been able to find them here in Ontario.

They are indeed delicious!

I am in Ontario-yes mygr8or

My mother actually bought them from a local farmer, however, in St. Catharines (where I live) you can get them from the Real Canadian Superstore- as they buy local produce!

I hear they are fabulous to bake with as they keep their shape nicely, and are a tiny bit tart!

MMMMM bake them in the oven with a mix of splenda/cinnamon, and a TINY but of low fat butter and/or brown sugar...

I'm in Oshawa - I'll try our local Canadian Superstore tomorrow - there's one near my gym.

Can't wait to try them baked. Thanks!

Yes yes yes!!  Honeycrisp apple are the best apples ever!  I am obsessed with them and sing their praises to anyone who will listen.  The skin is so firm, the flesh so crunchy, sooo juicy, the flavor sweet and yet tangy...  *heaven!!!*

Now, Honeycrisp fans, the season is ENDING!!! But...Honeycrisps are one of the best apples to store, so STOCK UP NOW!!

I am going to a PYO farm this weekend and buying a huge bag...though it will probably only last me half-way through October ;)

Eugh, I tried one a couple weeks ago and it was terrible!  It was like eating sugar!

I guess fujis will always be my one true appley love.

 I cannot believe there are even people who will flame about apples.  Oh, the internets!

I'm in Niagara too - Port Robinson to be exact (work in St. Catharines), and now I am VERY excited to hit the superstore tomorrow!! :D

Paid $18.00 for a bag of apples but well worth the money! Yum!

It is funny that this topic showed up.  I just bought some Honey Crisp apples at the store last night.  They didn't have any golden delicious or Fuji, so I just got these, not knowing anything about them.  They looked good though.  I just ate one and it was DELICIOUS!  I love a crisp sweet apple, and this was exactly that.

YUMMY!

I agree!  The other night I had one for dessert by dicing it up, adding some cinnamon and sweetner and a few sprays of I can't belive it's not butter AND a crumbled up granola bar... OMG, it was like apple crisp!

I totally agree im a fruit fanatic and i loveddddddd these!! they are great to just grab one and take it for a quick breakfast.

I just tried these Honey Crisps last week for the first time and I am in love with them.  I picked up a Gala from home yesterday thinking it was a Honey Crisp and it nearly ruined my day.  I love all apples but Honey Crisps take the cake!!

They are good!  I get them from a local orchard so they are really fresh and keep just a little longer in the refrigerator.  I also like the ginger gold apples, another new variety.

yes, those apples RULE!  Here's a little tid bit. They were developed by the University of Minnesota!
