If I had to pick my favorite fruits, the pineapple would be at the top of the list followed by the apple. Apples come in all sorts of varieties, and I like trying different kinds when I can come across them.

The Red Delicious seems to be the most popular, but despite its moniker I find it to be one of the least delicious. It is, however, the best looking apple, which probably accounts for its popularity.

Typically, I go for Gala apples. They’re almost always available at the grocery store, and the best tasting. I buy these from Costco 12-at-a-time.

We live just a few miles from the Conner Prairie Living History Museum, and they maintain an Apple Store open during the apple harvest season. I can usually find some unique varieties there; I recall sampling some Liberty apples last year, although they weren’t particularly memorable.

Earlier this week, I happened across some Honeycrisp apples at the grocery store. If they appear in your local store, I highly recommend picking up a few. It is the best apple variety I have ever tasted. Extremely firm and sweet, I could eat one of these every day.
