Honeycrisp is a hands down favorite of many apple eaters. Juicy, extremely crisp, and so sweet-- you would think it was filled with honey.
Honeycrisp is not a good storage apple so eat these in the week you get them. Bill and his people at Champlain Orchards do such an amazing job harvesting these at peak freshness.
Store in a paper bag in the refrigerator.
Bill and Andrea at Champlain Orchards are committed to ecological practices and are Eco-Apple certified. Due to the challenges of our Northeast climate, organic certification of apples is incredibly difficult. Their apples are never sprayed; only in the flowering stage are the trees treated using Integrated Pest Management to cut down on the risk of scab. No chemical pesticides are used on the orchards.
I love these apples because they are very crisp, slightly tart and come in a bag where the apples are small enough to easily eat all at once.
If you've never tasted a honeycrisp you are in for a huge treat. They're very firm which is one of the most important qualities to some of the apple eaters in our house. And yes, they are amazingly juicy and sweet. They cook up nicely too.
