Thread: Your favourite apple variety

What is your favourite variety of apple, among the following?:

Pineapple!

I haven't tried them all, but you can't go wrong with a Golden Delicious! But keep those damn Braeburns away from me.

I find that I like them fermented

No Cox's Orange Pippin !!?

I tend to prefer smaller apples.

When they are taken ripe off the tree a red delicious is one of the greatest food items on earth. The ones you get in the grocery store are an absolute abomination.

So, I voted red delicious with that stipulation.

not so favorite with laptop or desktop variety but these

My favourite variety (it could have possible been the company name, but I don't think so) was Envy. I tried it a couple of weeks ago, and it had fabulous flavour and crunch, but it wasn't too sweet. But it wasn't on the list.

So I voted for Gala. Royal Galas are the very best—sooo crunchy!

OK, I just did some research. Envy apples are from New Zealand and are a cross between Braeburn and Royal Gala. Go and buy some!

None of the above. Make mine Empire or Macoun.

I like apples which are more on the tart side, though not pure sourness.

By the way, which apple variety would anyone recommend for apple sauce? It would need to be a little bit tart.

My grandmother has a tree of Transparent apples that make very fine applesauce. They are normally used in cooking due to their sharp taste.

Yes, that's mine, from the tree in our garden.

I voted for a bunch, but I love Granny Smith and another one that wasn't on here, the Fameuse
