So he continues on his way and along the side of the road he sees another sign: "Apples, $20.00 each." So he gets out and asks the farmer why these apples are so expensive. "These are ham and cheese apples," the farmer says. So the guy buys one. The apple only tasted like ham, so he asked the farmer why and he said, "Turn the apple over and you will taste the cheese."
Then he is driving down the road again and he sees another sign: "Apples, $50.00 each." So he asks the farmer, "What's up with these apples being so expensive?" The farmer tells him they are p***y apples. So the guy buys one. He takes a bite into the apple and says "This apple tastes like s**t!" And the farmer says, "Turn it over."
Yup, Honey Crisp, and when they are out of season, Pink Lady. Both extra crisp, juicy, sweet (Honey Crisp moreso) with a bit of tart. And both varieties keep well in the refrigerator crisper drawer, so you can get the big container at a discount...
Envy is also a very good apple variety.

Fuji apples are very good IMHO
If you can find them, Macoun apples makes an incredible apple pie and are better eating than grannie smiths.

I love me some red or golden delicious apples... but I have to say, even at 3 times the price ($2.99 a lb vs $.99 a lb) honey crisp apples are certainly the best apples evah!
Discuss.

What part of the country are you in?
Because down here, if anyone says "Ma-Coon".....I'm pretty sure there is going to be a hate crime.
Oh sweetie will you make me a pie?
Wait all year for the honey crisp!
Also concord grapes can only be had for a few weeks, get some.

years ago I heard them routinely called Ma-cown, as in clown. Recent years even the growers where we pick are saying Ma-coon, as in hate crime.
And I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to my great friend Tailgater for making fun of his joke.
Sorry Joe. It really was a funny joke. And even more clever wordplay with turnover apple...
I miss RI, sometimes. The food, the trees, the ponds and lakes, the beaches... the sarcastic wit. I just don't miss the frozen winters.
