Honeycrisp Apples: 'Tis the Season
It's September, that first nip of fall is in the air—that means it's Honeycrisp apple season. Something about the chilly North outfits this miracle of apple eugenics with piercing sweetness, crisp flesh, and a crunch that chomps like celery. I'm not the world's biggest fan of fruit, but I look forward to the Honeycrisp's brief season every fall as if it were Christmas. I can only imagine how they'd taste in a pie...maybe with some cinnamon ice cream...some streusel pecans....
Huh? What? Where am I? Anyway, as I was saying, these apples may keep the doctor away, but they'd have to hide behind a phalanx of rabid raccoons to keep me at bay. As of last week, the only places I'd seen them were The Fresh Market and Whole Foods, where they were running about $2.99 a pound. If that sounds expensive—well, so are diamonds.

I live in middle Georgia, and I have been enjoying Honeycrisps for several weeks, now. They are really the best apple I've ever eaten. I just replinished my supply today, and bought eight shiny, gorgeous apples. We have them at our Kroger. And, yep........they are right at $2.99. I'll take the Honeycrisps over diamonds anyday (and I'm a female!).
