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.
