Honeycrisp Apples

Honeycrisps are the quintessential apple every Fall. This variety of apple will have a yellow background with a red to pink blush with lenticels sprinkled around its body. They are famous for it’s juicy, crisp, aromatic flesh that is packed full of a sweet-tart flavor. Bake them, sauce them, have them raw, Honeycrisp apples make for a perfect choice no matter how you eat them. 

SweeTango Apples

Introduced in 2009 by the University of Minnesota, their apple breeders used their horticultural techniques to combine the Honeycrisp apple with Zestar apples. As a result, the world now enjoys this crisp, sweet variety of apple whose tastes resemble a touch of honey, citrus, and spice. When you bite into it you will be pleased with the apple’s unmatched texture of crunchy and juicy.

Granny Smith Apples

When it comes to baking, you can’t go wrong with Granny Smith. While you can find these apples year-round, this variety will ripen by mid to late October. The skin is smooth, firm, chewy, and thick, with a bright green skin that is speckled with white lenticels. This variety of apples have a balance of sweet and acidic flavor with tangy, tart undertones.  

Jonathan Apples

Jonathan apples have been around since the 1800s and have been an American staple since its discovery. The Jonathan apple has a thin red skin that is blushed with yellow and green undertones. Its yellow flesh will contain a crisp bite with lots of flavor from its juice. Its flavor had a mild sweetness with a hint of tart and spice. The Jonathan apple is perfect when added to sweet and savory dishes.

McIntosh Apples

Steve Jobs has nothing on this variety of apple. McIntosh’s are an early season apple that will become redder as they ripen on the tree. This will also affect the flavor of the apple. When you pick a McIntosh early in the season they tend to be more on the tart side, whereas if you pick them later, they will be sweeter. According to Specialty Produce, the apple is easy to break down, making it a great addition to sweet and savory preparations, such as pizza, tarts, stuffing, soups, and desserts.
