Poll question: Favorite apple

[KitchenWitch]

1. Either Cortland or Haralson

Depending upon the year...some years the Haralson's are better, other years the Cortlands are better.

[BurtWorm]

5. Are you from Upstate NY by any chance?

I couldn't tell you what either of those tasted like. I'm sure they're fantastic! (I adore apples.)

[KitchenWitch]

8. No, I live in Minnesota

Both of the varieties are a tad tart and both good for eating and baking. Smooth, not mealy at all.

19. I picked the Macintosh,

but I've always liked Cortlands. That used to be my favorite apple. I can't seem to find them in the stores in Florida. I also like Empires. I'm eating one of those right now.

7. Honeycrisp! OM Freakin' G, HONEYCRISP

engineered by the university of minnesota. wow. take the best parts of every good apple you've ever had, roll them all together, and multiply by 10. Wow. Oh, god... I want one right now!

Unfortunately, they're nearly impossible to find, and when I can they're EXPENSIVE (but well worth it)

[KitchenWitch]

9. Honeycrisp are great too

[demnan]

10. It depends on eating or cooking sometimes

But Stammen or winesap fresh from the orchard they grew in are among my favorites.

11. Winesap. Absolutely.

I haunt apple stands and farmers' markets looking for these.

The taste is sooooo outrageous, and the apple is C-R-I-S-P.

Gotta get me some. Best Eating Apple Ever.

Some of the others up there in the poll are great for baking and cooking, and are my favorites for those uses. Like the Macoun. :)

12. Strange....Burt Worm does an apple poll

the apples when I was a kid that tasted the best were unsprayed and full of worms.It was the super market or the wormy apples,we went for the super market apples.
