And the winner is...

As some of you know, I have been conducting an informal survey to determine the best apple for eating. While there were lots of good contestants, one eventually stood out.

I asked around for ideas from others, and Honeycrisp gathered a lot of support. And I did try many good Honeycrisp apples, which came in second overall. I also tried Ambrosia apples which were pretty good, although they didn't last long in season and I only saw them one place. Braeburn were ok, as were Fuji. I wasn't a fan of Jonathan. Granny Smith are by far the best, and the only ones I use, for cooking, but they sometimes give me a stomachache when eating.

Which leaves Gala. They had the best texture of any apples, and were sweet without being too sweet.

And there you have it.

Gala were my favorite, until I tried honeycrisp this year...so I have to disagree with you.

Mmmmmm.. Galas are definitely delightful, the overall classic apple for sure. Though, currently, I'm going through a Macintosh phase. I like that they're just a little tart... mmmmmmmm

My favorite apple currently would have to be a Pink Lady

I haven't tried pink ladies, but I'll keep an eye out for them, as well as any other that look good.
