I must be the only person who likes to eat Macintosh apples because they are softer and juicy. Maybe also because they are very fragrant, but we were talking about them at work as I am eating my apple and my coworkers, like Foamy, say they like crispy juicy apples. Thoughts on Apples- Just Curious Guess I should make this more a poll. |

Usually I prefer crisp and tart. Sometimes I like crisp and sweet. I never favor soft. |

Why on earth would you eat a feed apple and like it? As for what makes a good apple? The successor to the Honey Crisp is quite possibly the greatest apple ever ... I believe it's called the Sweet Tango. |

I believe it's called the Sweet Tango. Well lump me in with cattle then because I like them.  Up here Macintosh are sold in grocery stores, so if they sell them as feed down south I wouldn't know. Mostly here, I know that my Dad's friend, grows winesap for his animals.I also like Golden Delicious because they fall somewhere in between the two types of textures of Crisp and Soft |

I'm fairly certain the only reason the McIntosh gets any play in this day and age is its origin. It's always been a soft apple, and it's always been rather mealy. I've never understood its popularity in the North East. As for what we do with them around here? Fatten pigs. |

I must be old fashioned, I still eat Fuji apples and think they're delicious. I don't think I've seen the Honey Crisp or Sweet Tango. |

I only like apples in apple pie. Because apple skin is gross and peeling an apple takes too much effort. |

Honeycrisp, (either Jonagold or Braeburn, I get them confused because they look similar. One of them is great, the other is mealy), Gala, Granny Smith, in that order. I like tart apples that have a good, crisp texture. Having some sweetness behind the tart flavor is good; this is why those 3 have risen above Granny Smith for me in the last decade. Crisp apples are better for eating, because the texture is satisfying; and I like baking with crisper apples, too, as the texture stands up to baking without turning to goo. |

(Hence, Gala are my favorite.) However, slice up a grannysmith and sprinkle cinamon on it. You won't regret it. |

I like them crisp. Tart and sweet can go either way. |

I like the kind that are dark red, crunchy, and have little bumps on the bottom, like feet. I also like Granny Smith. |

I've soured on those, as I haven't had a good one from a store in years. If you can get them tree-ripened, they might be OK. I've always thought of Macintosh apples as cooking apples. Maybe good for cooking apple sauce, at least. But, yeah, crisp and sweet for me. Sorry, you seem to be in the minority, Oonagh. |

Macs are good to eat, IF you get then fresh off the tree. Otherwise cook with them. Red Delicious are a misnomer. Compared to all other apples they are like eating a sweetened block of wood. So many really good ones out there, and so little time. (I went to Cornell and they had a wonderful apple orchard!) Honey Crisp, Tango, Empire.... Gala are nice small ones. Tasty and well loved by kids. Apple pies are better if you mix at least 3 different kinds together. My criteria for a good apple? Crisp, mildly sweet, and rich flavor. |

I feel the same way, I wonder if it's being out West and not being able to get them ripe from the farm a couple miles away that does it. I'm going with the majority, sweet/tart/crisp for me. Honeycrisp/Gala/Fuji seem to be what I get now. |
