Honeycrisp Apple
In the history of the apple industry, the Honeycrisp variety is a new kid on the block. Developed by the University of Minnesota from a Macoun and Honeygold cross (the Honeygold itself a cross between the Golden Delicious and Haralson), this new apple variety was introduced in 1991. It is believed to be the best, most exciting new apple to be propagated in America.
The Honeycrisp apple sells itself. No other apple matches its crispness. The fruit naturally grows large making it the perfect fruit to slice and share. You can also cook with Honeycrisp but most feel it would be a waste as it such a perfect piece of fresh fruit. The Honeycrisp has multiple color shadings, stripes, freckles, and a nice round apple shape. "If Cezanne was painting apples today, he would chose a Honeycrisp."
