I like egremont russets, to me they have the perfect balance between sharp and sweet. I hate apples which are sweet without any sharp in them. But what is your favourite F!S?

Granny Smith.

honeycrisp. I get them from an orchard and they're fabulous.

Dark red ones, idk what they are called.

I like apples that have only sweet and no sharp. Like those bright yellow ones. Pure sweetness and nothing else.

This is also the reason my favourites are the ones that are called "marzipan apples" over here (IDK if they're even grown in other countries). They kind of have this marzipan flavour and are very sweet.

Anything that's firm, crunchy, and sharp.

Gala apples. I like 'em crunchy.

Pink Lady (well technically the variety is apparently called Cripps Pink, Pink Lady are a selection of the best ones)
They're firm and very sweet.

Gala, Gaia, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Winesap, Rome, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith ... others I can picture but don't know the names of.

The only variety I really dislike is Red Delicious, because they are almost always flavorless. I don't favor Macintosh for eating (they're too "grainy-soft"), but they are great to make into cobblers, crisps, and applesauce.

Pink ladies, Mutsu, Fuji, Braeburn, Honeycrisp

Edited (faulty memory) 2014-11-08 22:56 (UTC)

The ones from my tree. We had no pollinators this year, so I only got a small amount, compared to most years. (I...think they're Macs? Not sure.)

I know about tart red ones, sweet green ones, and yellow ones that are only used for cooking. I like the green ones. That is the extent of my apple knowledge.

(Someone below mentioned sour green apples? I'm not familiar with those at all.)

Red Delicious because that is what I grew up eating.

They're red-green and very moist inside.

Jazz apples are pretty good, imo.

Empires and Wealthys for cooking; Cripps Pink for eating--they taste almost spicy to me.

Macintosh for most of my life, but the ones i buy in the store do *not* taste like the ones that i grew up eating, off our own two trees, so my new favorite is the Honeycrisp. Tart, firm, crisp, juicy - the best apple ever!

I detest a mealy apple, a too-sweet apple, or an apple with a tough skin.

Biggest disappointment ever: Macoun. Awesome flavor, but I couldn't get past a texture that was like library paste.

Jonagolds I bought this week were equally terrible, but I wasn't expecting that much.

Pink Lady!

Jazz apples.

From the store: Fuji or Granny Smith
Otherwise, my momma's Ontarios
Dessert: Booskop all the way, all other apples can get out of my doughnuts and pie.
