1. Red Delicious, which aren't delicious at all - they're bland and mealy.

[debm55]

2. Thank you Ocelot II

[Alpeduez21]

4. Red delicious

[debm55]

9. Thank you Alpeduez21

[EverHopeful]

7. Yes!!!

More of a misnomer than any other I can think of right now.

[debm55]

10. EverHopeful--Thank you

[Tadpole Raisin]

12. You are right for most of them. Gotta find a good bunch

but it’s hard. I like Honeycrisp but I’ve found some bad batches of those too.

[CrispyQ]

15. I so agree!! I loved Jonathan's the best but they're very hard to find. -nt

[brush]

52. Yep, They used to be sweet and delicious. A long time ago though.

[fargone]

3. Red delicious should have disappeared 50 years ago.

[debm55]

5. Thank you fargone

[Ocelot II]

8. I think they persisted because they look good.

But it's the ugly apples that taste good.

[Tadpole Raisin]

6. Candy apple goes!!

One neighbor always gave us candied apples at Halloween. We had to go there - mom’s orders. Yuk.

After we went home and changed costumes for the second run we skipped her house for the houses that gave us the good stuff the first time.

Yes I know. Bad, bad. Very bad!!

[debm55]

11. Thank you Tadpole Raisin. That is funny.

[Traildogbob]

51. A candy apple

Using red delicious apples. 🤮

[debm55]

56. Thank you Traildogbob.

[2naSalit]

13. There are only two...

Kinds of apple worth a damn; MacIntosh and Courtland. They both have flavor and texture and are both great for cooking. Courtalnds are big apples and I recall we used to core them, fill the hole with yummy stuff and bake them as a dessert. I'll pass on other kinds, I never buy apples unless I'm getting fresh Macs.

[debm55]

16. Thank You 2naSalit

[2naSalit]

18. Admittedly...

I haven't seen a Courtland apple since I moved away from New England decades ago.

[Nictuku]

14. Not an apple fan myself

But I buy them to feed the deer around here in the summer. (started one year where I noticed I could see the rib cages of the deer in my area in summer, when everything is crispy dry and dead)

I always try to buy the least expensive (man has the cost gone up!). I bought some just last Friday, Crisp Apple. They look good, taste good, but oddly, the seeds were already starting to sprout in this last batch. That is OK, deer like the sprouted seeds too.

Today the deer got cut up zucchini and yellow neck squash, and carrots, and I added 2 apples to the mix. (zucchini, carrots, and squash all cost less than apples. So the deer get more. I used to only get apples, but got way too expensive for me and my fixed income)

Some may ask why I spend my $ on this and my answer is: The wildlife around here is my entertainment! It is worth the $ to me.

[debm55]

17. Nictuku, Thank you for your post. You do it because you are a kind person that loves watching her deer in the yard,

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Candy

Ideal for me is caramel over a Granny Smith

[debm55]

20. Thank you ProfessorGAC, I hat candy apples, But I would like a plain Granny Smith dipped in carmel sauce. yummy

[Different Drummer]

21. Second this!

[debm55]

23. Thank you Different Drummer. Too hard on the teeth.

[Different Drummer]

22. Candy apples, take a hike! n/t

[debm55]

24. You got that right. I gave them up long time ago.

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Red Delicious. They're mealy.

[debm55]

26. Thank you sinkingfeeling.

[ailsagirl]

27. I'm stuck-- either candy or caramel

[debm55]

28. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH, only one. ailsagirl.

[ailsagirl]

29. I'll have to get back to you-- difficult choice

[LoisB]

30. How about all of them?

[debm55]

38. Just one, Which one is the worst of the worst?

I don't like carmel apples either.So I looked at what was left and pick granny smith.Easy peasy.

[LoisB]

44. In that case, I guess I would have to toss carmel apples.

[MiHale]

31. Ahh..Candy Apple is toast her singing career went down fast...

Her backup singer sister Carmel Apple went with her.

[debm55]

37. HAHHAHAHHAAHa. That's funny MiHale.

[displacedvermoter]

53. And so did their brother Johnny Rotten Apple.

Cousin Fiona Apple, however, is still going strong.

[debm55]

58. Hahahahahahah, that's funny, Thank you displacedvermotor

[MiHale]

64. 👍

[arkielib]

32. I would kick candy apples out first.

They would all eventually have to go though. I buy Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji - depending on which is the best price at the time.

[debm55]

36. Thank you arkielib.So would I

[AllaN01Bear]

33. yes!!!! mmmm

[debm55]

34. Thank you AllaN01Bear

[Probatim]

35. Red delicious - it's the oxymoron of apples.

I had a customer who said her husband only bought red delicious apples from the grocery store. Lamenting the fact that the fall was the best time to buy apples and there were so many apples that tasted better.

I suggested that maybe he didn't like apples... She thought that was great.

[debm55]

39. AHAHHAHAHAHHAh, Thank you Probatim. That's funny.

[TommieMommy]

40. I would get rid of the candy apple 😁

My favorite is honey crisp apples

[debm55]

42. Agree. Thank you TommieMommy

[Luciferous]

46. I love honeycrisps too, I eat one almost

every day

[Traildogbob]

54. My favorite too

I live in a community that was an Orchard. Still the bottom half of the community is an active orchard with a massive fruit stand just down the road. The bakery is world class and ships nationwide. The apples come from right here, and the crisps are straight off the trees.

[debm55]

60. Thank you Luciferous.

[HeartsCanHope]

41. Candy apple!

[debm55]

43. Thank you HeartsCanHope. agree.

[Luciferous]

45. Red delicious because they're too mushy

and awful 😖

[debm55]

47. Thank you, Luciferous

[electric_blue68]

48. Candy, and caramel apples...

I've gotten good crispy red delicious. Rarely yellow delicious.

Sometimes I like granny, only very crisp macs (they get soft later on), cortland.
Pink lady, honey crsp & jon gold.

My favorite is Winesap; a sweet-tart apple with as the name implies a faint winey taste. 👍

[debm55]

61. Thank you electric_blue68

[From The Ashes]

49. You can have the Red Delicious...

Skin is bitter and really doesn't have a lot of flavor. I love Granny Smith apples I wanna keep *them*

[debm55]

62. Me too. Keep them and get rid of candy apples. Thank you From The Ashes

[Elessar Zappa]

50. I don't like red delicious.

I love both candy and caramel apples.

[debm55]

63. Thank You Elessar Zappa.

[a kennedy]

55. Honey Crisp....and of course Carmel apples during this time of year.....

and gonna try the Sweet Tango variety started right here in MN.

[debm55]

65. Thank you a kennedy

[if..fish..had..wings]

57. Granny Smith stays...all others go

Sorry, I just can't seem to follow the rules

If you force me (ouch), candy apple goes

[debm55]

59. That's okay cand apples go for me

[Emile]

66. I like a Fuji apple.

[debm55]

67. Thank you, Emile. What kind of full apple?

[malthaussen]

68. Red delicious apples aren't. n/t

[beemerphill]

69. Red Delicious

The only thing this apple has going for it is its appearance. It is good looking, but it is not a good eating apple or a good cooking apple.

[soldierant]

70. Any apple at all, but only provided

it's not store bought with wax all over it. The best ones are from a friend's back yard.
