I've noticed the honeycrisp variety is comparatively cheaper this year than in years past. Closer to the price of other apple varieties at the stores I frequent. I go for pink lady apples recently though.
Honey crisp is becoming more widely available as the variety's patent protections ran out a few years ago. Now that you don't have to have a special license from University of Minnesota to grow them we're gonna be able to get the "generic."
Pink lady here, too. I used to be a Gr. Smith kinda guy. But nowadays not so much. They don't come with the kind of crispiness and juiciness and savoriness that I remember.
Then again I don't eat much fruit at all. Mostly berries if anything. Man, you put a bowl of cherries in front of me? You better ask for some quickly, before I finish it. My favorite.
Wow, ok you said that and I was like I've totally seen that price on the regular, which is why I stick to gala, but I went looking and can't find anything over $2.49, so, way to go, you fixed inflation! What else don't you believe?
Every time someone tries to convince me that apples aren't just garbage fruit they ask, "but have you tried honey crisps?" Yeah, have you tried any other fruit? The worst fruit from the tropics is just way better than the best apple.
