What's
it like? Explosively
crisp and rapidly becoming
the most popular among apple connoisseurs, 'HoneyCrisp' is truly
an apple for everyone who loves apples.
The fruit has an exceptionally crisp, sweet and
juicy texture with a complex sweet-tart flavor. It is excellent for
fresh eating, and salads, and is good for sauce, baking, and pies. This
is without a doubt our favorite apple.
Background
The 'HoneyCrisp' apple was produced from a 1960 cross between 'Macoun'
and 'Honeygold', as part of the University of Minnesota apple
breeding program. With strict requirements about where and how
it can be grown, 'HoneyCrisp' is not for every grower. For those
with the location and those who are willing to give this apple the
added attention it needs, a true treat awaits their customers.
