September – October fresh harvest and through May from storage
The Honeycrisp apple is the perfect salad apple combining sweet with tart, crispness with juiciness.
Out-of-hand eating, sauces and baking are all great uses for this versatile gem. It’s also the perfect apple for kids and teens for healthy snacking because they love the crunch, the juice and the flavor.
When selecting apples in the store, look for firm fruit. Minor surface blemishes are okay as long as it is not decayed.
Some blemishes occur while the apple is still on the tree as the limbs of the tree rub against the apple under windy conditions. This may not be eye appealing, but the apple is just fine. Some stores will sell limb rubbed apples at a very cheap price. As long as the apple is firm, it’s fine.
Available October through February.
