I’ve tried Honeycrisps a few times and I just don’t understand why they’re so loved. They have a super crisp skin with a mealy interior, and I swear the flavor has a hint of tomato. It’s so off-putting.
Honeycrisps grown in the wrong climate are remarkably meh.
Ones grown in the north to northwest are far better.
Just today I found a sale on organic Honeycrisps from Washington State and they're outrageously good. The flesh is very sweet and only slightly tart (not like a Pink Lady) and when you bite into it, what feels like half the apple cleaves off into your mouth. The interior is by no means mealy if you get a good one.
The problem is that growers everywhere try growing them due to the high prices, and it just isn't good at growing everywhere.
