I love the apple rankings site but remain ever a Honeycrisp ho. I never liked apples until one day I was pregnant and hungry and at Target they had out samples of apple - out of desperation I grabbed one and holy crap, it was everything an apple should be, nothing like anything I'd had before, and I worked at a natural foods store, we got the pink lady and cripps and gala, it's not like I had not tried to like apples.

It will ever be the Honeycrisp, the platonic ideal. Perfectly sweet, perfectly tart, and can be cooked in pies and taste good. I don't need any other apple. My coworker prefers the Cosmic Crisp but I don't.

Yeah i was going to say i was the same as you then fell in love with cosmic crisp. Also ambrosia are great too, but if you found your apple love there's nothing to change! I'm glad you found one you liked. I used to hate apples too after trying granny smith and red delicious. The first was insanely sour and not appetizing and the second was mushy apple shaped pulp board.

Fun fact: I live right near where granny smiths were invented (Eastwood in Northern Sydney). I'd like to sincerely apologise to the world on behalf of my city's contribution.

Freshly pressed granny smith mixed with polish bison grass vodka is an absolute delight

Yet more evidence that Granny smith apples are ingredients and are not fit for human consumption without modification

I don't know how widely available it is outside of Minnesota (Honeycrisp was invented here) but there's a Honeycrisp hard cider called Loon Juice, it's pretty good. I also saw a jug of non alcoholic cider made from them at the grocery store a few days ago.

OMG I see this is at our Total Wine. I will get some for our Halloween party for sure.
