...and what's your favorite?
My favorite eating apple is Empire. It has the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Gala comes in second. I also like the Honeycrisp, but I noticed that their season is very short.
They've been pushing the Acey-Mac the past couple of years, but I'm not that fond of Macintosh.
How about you?

Great topic I love Envy..........I need a sweet apple.

Oh I love Fuji also and Ambrosia. Ambrosia I think is over for our area to receive but I love them the most.

Not much of anything grows here, but we get a lot of great produce from the region. I go with California produce as much as possible.
My favorite is the Gala. I tried the Honey Crisp one time, based on a review I read on this board one year (never even heard of them before that) and found them to be much inferior to the Gala, so I went right back. Glad I only bought a couple of those.
Fortunately, we seem to have them all year long. Some parts of the year I think they come from New Zealand or somewhere around there and they seem to be as good as the local ones.

I love the tart/crisp of McIntosh and I buy locally from the orchard. I'm more concerned lately where our food comes from.
He does not have any of the new varieties but that's probably because of the time/cost to invest and grow on his land.
Last fall I bought 2 bushels. Sliced, prepped, froze, etc. They lasted thru until late Feb/early March.

Another New Zealand variety has appeared in the stores.

Always use Macintosh when making applesauce. My family loves it chunky style so I make about
12 qts. every autumn. Gets is through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Look for SweeTango which is a relative of Honeycrisp.

We love honeycrisp with caramel dip. I'll have to try sweetango.

Honey Crisp is my favorite. I like sweet and juicy apples.
Any others you can recommend that are sweet? I do not do TART
