Apples were everywhere at the Farmer’s Market today. There were so many different varieties that it was difficult to keep all the names straight, but no problem remembering this favorite. Let me introduce you to a Honey Crisp, which is just that, sweet (but not too sweet) and crisp. Honey Crisp apples were first produced in 1960, which is totally groovy considering they are the ‘love child’ of two other varieties, the Macoun and Honeygold. The University of Minnesota bred this apple as part of a program to ‘invent’ winter hardy fruit, how cool is that?
Stored in the refrigerator, Honey Crisps can last up to six months, but that would only happen if you were away on a world tour or lost the ability to find the bottom drawer of your refrigerator. These are way too delicious to hang around that long.
If you are craving something just a little more far-out than a solitary apple, add a slice of cheese or a bit of peanut butter.
