Apples (The Fruit)

[Papa G]

Now that the last of the Summer Fruit is well past its used by date and the Apple season is in full swing, thought I'd gauge people's preferences on my go to fruit. What is your favourite type of apple?

For me, I'm quite impressed with the newer varieties, like Jazz and Modi. Both crisp and a good balance between sweetness and acidity. Really like these. Not a fan of the Delicious varieties at all as 9 times out of 10 they are floury. So in order of preference:
Jazz
Royal Gala
Modi
Pink Lady
Jonathon
Sundowner
Fuji
Red Delicious
Golden Delicious

What is your fave Apple?

 

[William Wonka]

Good luck finding them outside of Tassie but Coxes Orange Pippin s**t all over anything else.

 

[Aussie Joe]

Gravensteins and Fuji’s

I detest floury apples with the fire of a thousand suns.

There’s something immensely disappointing about biting into an apple expecting some crunch and maybe even a bit of juice splash onto your face, and instead getting that limp flouriness.

My preference was Fuji apples for a long time but Ive recently gotten back into the old faithful Granny Smiths.

Ah forgot the Grannies. Probably sits just above Red Delicious for me.

If I was a hibernating animal, my winter cave walls would be lined with porridge, chick peas and apples.

A fruit that is taken for granted, but if the flesh is too floury or the skin too strenuous it ruins the experience. I've always gone for the Pink Lady, but don't mind a Royal Gala or Granny Smith. That said, outside seasonal fruit I tend towards the kiwifruit (eaten whole) and bananas (normal).

On a tangent, I grew up with distantly related Loquats. My dad planted loquat trees in most of my childhood homes, and the earliest sandwich spread I remember is homemade loquat jam sandwiches. In those daycare days before preschool, always had my loquat jam sandwich (with the crusts off) for lunch. The fruit are delicious as well.

Nothing better than a large, cold & crisp Red Delicious.

Pink lady apples for me.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Pink Lady or Fuji

 

[MrKK]

I alternate between Pink Lady and Granny Smith. I've never liked Delicious at all.

 

[ioppolo]

Pink Lady by far

 

[Doss]

I'm in the Pink Lady crowd also.

 

[Power Raid]

I don't know what type of apples they put in the kids packs but I prefer those.

Smaller and crispy!

 

[La Dispute]

Nothing beats a good Red Delicious apple. Crunchy, fairly sweet without being excruciatingly so, the perfect size for your hand.

Pink Ladys have a decent flavour but so inconsistent and easily bruised; probably because of how fleshy they are.

Granny Smiths are great value for money and pretty consistent as well.

How good are those Fuji's you get from roadside fruit sellers? Delish

Golden Delicious overrated IMO

I like Pink Lady and not big on the powdery ones.

I do recall my grandma having a golden delicious tree though and those apples were erm, delicious.

Red Delicious used to eat Granny Smith, but have gone of them recently

 

[Wosh]

We planted one of the new Redlove apples last year, can’t wait to try my first one. They are red inside and supposed to be a bit tart like Granny Smiths and very juicy.

 

[CakeEater]

Apple cake?

 

[Wosh]

Apple cake?

Oh man, I make a terrific apple teacake.

Do you deliver to Perth?

Do you deliver to Perth?

When I come over

 

[gaskin]

I'm more of a fan of green apples than red. My favourite are Green Star as they are not as sour as Granny Smith and not as sweet as Golden Delicious.

 

[Catfish Alley]

They are kind of out of season now but I like Ambrosia apples. Otherwise I tend to go with Gala.
