Favorite type of apple?

CurveControl · 11-23-2010, 07:47 AM

I think, so far, mine are jongold or fuji. I had a goldencrisp this morning but it just didn't have that 'snap' I like.

Tomorrow I will have a red delicious and see how that rates.
You?

Lil Donna · 11-23-2010, 07:48 AM

The biggest ones ever made! Those are my favorites. They tend to be Fujis

Ladidah · 11-23-2010, 07:50 AM

Zestars, Haralson and sometimes Honeycrisp. I find Honeycrisps to be a little too sweet (and overpriced) and like Zestars better. Any thing tarter and not mealy! The 'delicious' apples are at the bottom of my list.

CurveControl · 11-23-2010, 07:53 AM

I had to edit. I like the Jongold, I accidently posted jondelicious

torister · 11-23-2010, 08:00 AM

Macoun and Honey Crisp

Josuanna · 11-23-2010, 08:09 AM

Boskopp and Pink Lady, Braeburn

WildflowerMama · 11-23-2010, 08:24 AM

My favorite year round apple is a Fuji. It's sweet, a bit tart and super crisp. My apples must be crisp - bordering on hard. I can not stand a soft mealy apple.

But, for those few months when Honeycrisp apples are available, I eat those. They're crazy overprices but, just sooo delicious!

heatherwagnon · 11-23-2010, 08:35 AM

for my one apple day i did i tried a lot of them lol and my fav's are honeycrisp (they are expensive, its a bad habit of mine) and red delicious

toomuchbooty · 11-23-2010, 08:58 AM

Pink ladies! Pink Ladies! Pink Ladies!

oh...and Ambrosia!

coconutpie · 11-23-2010, 09:01 AM

fuji and gala apples! my apples must also be nice and crisp!

BusyMomOf4 · 11-23-2010, 09:06 AM

Galas! Definitely galas. Jonagold come in second. Honeycrisp are good if they are crisp, but not good enough (to me) to justify the price. But, I had to try them since everyone else gives them such rave reviews.

Starcat · 11-23-2010, 09:10 AM

Fuji for delicious applesauce. I've been eating Red Delicious, but they're disappointingly mealy.

jabbok · 11-23-2010, 09:12 AM

Honey crisp and golden delicious

piratewoman · 11-23-2010, 09:56 AM

Galas" they are so sweet I can't eat them

JeniferCA · 11-23-2010, 10:00 AM

Honeycrisp and Pacific Rose. YUM!

wishbone · 11-23-2010, 01:30 PM

Braeburns, hands down

kathy76 · 11-23-2010, 02:26 PM

Ambrosia~Gala~Fuji

As long as they are crisp...I'll eat them

Arizona Girl · 11-23-2010, 02:44 PM

leftout · 11-23-2010, 06:15 PM

McIntosh or granny smith.

CJoy · 11-23-2010, 10:48 PM

Fuji and Gala.

wifey · 11-23-2010, 11:44 PM

I'm not on HCG but I just had to add Pink Lady. LOL

Lost and Found · 11-24-2010, 04:03 AM

Sweet Tango, Honey Crisp, Sweet 16s, and Sonya

Would like to try Pink Lady apples.

CurveControl · 11-24-2010, 05:16 AM

I am making a list and I want to try all of these. I have a lot of apples to eat over the next 11 days.
I am actually enjoying them so much that I might continue an apple a day through the VLC Phase 2 (I have never done apples on LC and TBH I didn't think I liked apples that much)
DH and I are going to Jungle Jims on my last weekend, or at least my last scheduled weekend, and I am going to pic up a bunch of different types that I can't find at Kroger or Walmart. Other stuff too, of course, treats for my P2, but right now I am really interested in those apples!

For those who don't know JJs is a HUGE international market that has everydangthing! Google it~I am getting my parents and MIL deli & cheese gift baskets from there for Christmas!

aBuck · 11-24-2010, 06:33 AM

hands down Gala. I think it is how sweet they are. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth

Barbara690 · 11-24-2010, 07:23 AM

I was at Albertsons and got some pink lady apples on the produce guy's recommendation and I can say these are my favorite apples now.Very crisp,a little sweet and tart at the same time.

CurveControl · 11-24-2010, 07:29 AM

I had a red deicious today. Not on my list of apples to have again. I think my mom always bought RDs and that was why I thought I didn't like apples.

Stevie Renee · 11-24-2010, 07:56 AM

I like pink ladies, jazz and gala but I like them with peanut butter so I rarely eat them. Alone they are too sweet for me.

I think next P2 I am going to bake some with cinnamon and Splenda, perfect for December. See how I like it that way.

I bought a honeycrisp in Seattle's Pike Market and they are as big as my husbands fist! Huge! Too much apple...ours are little here.lol And way to sweet for my taste buds.

Depends on the time of day

LOVE it every morning on the scale.
Hate it every time I see a food commercial or think about thanksgiving dinner.

and reeely hate it for about a half an hour before every meal.

I am lucky in that I actually like all the foods on the plan. It gives me more variety than if I were picky.
