I like Braeburn apples the best, next to Red Delicious . What are your favorites for eating. For cooking I like the tart ones.

Just came home from the Greenmarket with a bag full of my favorites, "Mutsu's Mother." They're yellow, very crisp and very sweet. and they bake beautifully. For pies, I like to mix them with their offspring, the Mutsu. which are also yellow and very crisp, but are quite tart.

oooh I'm envious. The stores around here don't have many special kinds. I do like to try different apples.

Well, here's some trivia for you.....did you know that apples supposedly originated in Kazakhstan as well as the tulip? Their apples here are wonderful and large. The former capital "Almaty" means apple. They also have over 30 native "tulip" varieties that were exported to Holland. Kazakhstan was on the former silk route where wonderful, amazing stuff was sent all over the world from different countries along the way.

My two favorite are the Braeburn and the McIntosh {which are very hard to find in my area anymore}.

Fuji is my favourite eating apple, then Pink Lady, and a Jonathan is always hard to beat, just hard to locate! Granny Smiths for cooking and eating too!
And Expatgirl, I knew none of that! Very interesting! Thanks!

My favorite apple is a Winesap but I haven't seen them in a long time. I usually buy Jonathan Gold's.

that is interesting.
I like Granny Smith for my apple pies.
I think I've seen Jonathan Gold in Wegman's , not sure about Winesap tho.
I thought McIntosh was everywhere.My two favorite are the Braeburn and the McIntosh {which are very hard to find in my area anymore}.
oh yes the Pink Lady, forgot about that one, I enjoy that one too.
oh you are fortunate to have those trees. Have you made pies or something with the apples from them?

Yes I've made pies and baked apples..And it is so nice to walk outside and pick an apple and sink you teeth into it..I like to pick a few and the slice and saute in butter add brown sugar and some lemon juice and zest and serve it over vanilla ice cream...Yummy

MacIntosh are very easy to get here. That's what we tend to have most often; my son isn't picky between Macs and Spartans. I'll eat Macs but I'd rather have Granny Smith.

I love anything tart and not crunchy---I'm afraid that leaves out most "Red Delicious" apples.......if they're good my fav is Winesap.......and Fuji and Mac's are next in line...

I usually get Cox's or Braeburns. I love Pink Lady but over here they are so expensive.

I prefer the Fuji and yellow Delicious, you can use these in anything a apple is used for.
and they mix real well also.
