I really enjoy a tart Granny Smith, a crunchy Russet, or a crisp Gala. I miss Cox's Orange Pippins, which aren't available where I live. What's your favourite apple?

Cox or Granny Smith (which are great to cook with). The first early Discovery apples are great, but taste better straight from the tree. Reply #1. Aug 28 10, 12:36 AM |

The Pink Lady apple is my favorite apple, They taste best straight of the tree. The Fuji apple is pretty nice too. Reply #2. Aug 28 10, 4:11 AM |

I like Galas. They are a good multi use apple. Reply #3. Aug 28 10, 9:50 AM |

I like the sweetness of the Fuji. The Gala is similar. Reply #4. Aug 28 10, 10:08 AM |

A good firm Red Delicious apple, grown in Washington state. Reply #7. Aug 28 10, 2:11 PM |

A Cox's Orange Pippin, which I think is the best apple ever (sorry, Cym!), or a Laxton Superb grown in my back garden. Yes, they are superb! Raeburns are OK outside the Cox season. Reply #8. Aug 28 10, 5:13 PM |

Oh knickers - a raeburn is a braeburn with the 'b' dropped off. **blushes** Think I'll go to bed. :) Reply #10. Aug 28 10, 7:28 PM |

Lesley, lucky you to have a Cox's Orange Pippin tree in your garden! I don't know why we can't get them here in Canada; we seem to grow every other kind of apple. For some reason, the most popular apple with Canadians is the Macintosh. I don't like them because they're just not crisp or tart enough for me. As for Red or Golden Delicious, they'ree much too sweet. Reply #15. Aug 30 10, 9:13 AM |

Granny Smith, MacIntosh, Gala, Cortland, Red Delicious, Orange Pippin, Fuji....I can't really think of an apple that I don't like! However, I prefer my applies crunchy...not cooked. Reply #16. Aug 30 10, 10:18 AM |

Oops no, I haven't got a Cox's tree in my garden (no such luck), just the Laxtons. But I have got a Bramley tree, if that counts? I believe that Cox's need a warm dry climate. Perhaps Canada gets too cold for them? Reply #17. Aug 30 10, 11:31 AM |

Red delicious are my favorite, except sometimes they have tendency to get mushy; then not so much. Granny Smiths are good to cook with. I love apple pie ala mode. Wish I had a piece right now. Reply #18. Mar 19 12, 1:37 PM |

Nothing better than a Washington red delicious. Reply #19. Mar 19 12, 3:51 PM |

Washington Red Delicious is my favorite, but it has to have a certain texture or I won't eat it! Not a big fan of apples in the first place, so I'm very picky about the ones I will eat! Reply #20. Mar 19 12, 4:29 PM |
