Honeycrisp apples

[lukethedrifter]

We had a golden delicious tree in our backyard growing up, so I've always been partial to those. But apple nirvana was reached when we lived in upstate NY for a couple of years in the mid-90s. The cider mills, the orchards where we would go pick our own and the variety was fabulous. McIntosh were my favs up there, but I bought some recently and they weren't nearly as good as I remembered.

The honeycrisps I bought last week were spectacular.

Aye, there's an awesome apple orchard a couple miles outside of town for me, right next to the kennel where I board my dog. Oddly enough, there was a fantastic orchard right outside of town when I lived in central Iowa as well. Hmm...

Perhaps I subliminaly choose to move to cities that have excellent apple orchards?

I'm guessing that with PHX that run is about to end.

I dunno... I've heard cactus apples are pretty tasty down there this time of year.

You would [expletive] if you saw the price most chains pay for a case of apples.....

How so? Is it because they pay so little for the case, you mean? With a big mark-up?

Apples are generally in a 30 to 40 lb box, and the case cost is usually between $14 and $22 depending on the variety and time of year. Honeycrisps are a bit more expensive due to lighter supplies because of fewer trees.

Red delicious apples, however, are mealy-textured and flavorless. If incest produced apples, they would be red delicious apples.

Truth. I like almost any apple, but those taste rotten even when they're not.

Right now I have some jazz apples that are pretty good. I was going to get honeycrisp until I saw that they were 3X the price.

Just grab 1...you won't be disappointed.

For the local Phoenix guys, right now at Sprouts in Glendale (btw - that store is [expletive] awesome, I can't believe they sell wasabi peas in bulk (3.49/lb!), honey crisp apples are $1.69/lb.

We have a Sprouts in Boulder. Great store.

I cringe when people bring Honeycrisp apples through my line. They watch the price come up after I weigh it and their jaw drops every time. Sometimes it comes out to $10 for maybe 4 of them. I don't know how many times I've had to take those damn apples off of an order after they saw how much they were. People just grab produce and don't look at the price.

I had something similar the other day- I got five of 'em and it was $9.20 or something. It surprised the hell out of me. But I didn't balk. That [expletive] is amazing. Then I went back the next day and bought two more. I ate 7 of those [expletive] over the course of 2.5 days.

Swirls, they're $3.99/lb. here. Can I mail you some money so you can ship me some of your $1.69/lb. honeycrisps?

I haven't had an apple for awhile due to the fact I think I'm mildly allergic to them if that's possible. Anytime I eat one it makes my throat start to itch. I was partial to granny smith apples though, I liked sour over sweet when it came to apples.
