The Honeycrisp apple: The luxury model of the apple world brought to us by the University of Minnesota. Worshipped as ‘the’ apple.

It does live up to its name. It is crispy, and honey-like in its sweetness. It is good. A solid raw-eating pick. Yet there is nothing specifically unique asides from the fact that it excels at the points that people find appealing in an apple in this day and age. It is not a unique about it The Honeycrisp apple is simply an apple that is extremely refined. That is not a bad thing, of course. I cannot deny that the Honeycrisp is delicious or that has perfected a certain type of apple-ness.

It is a good apple: but is the Honeycrisp the best apple available? I do not think so.
