Honeycrisp is the most amazing thing to come down the apple road. They are the best. They can keep up to 7 months with no deterioration if kept at 99% humidity and 32f.

I once met an apple grower who told me the red delicious cross was beautiful, travelled well, and had a reasonable shelf life at room temp, only it taasted like wet cardboard. So they hired a marketing company who came up with the orwellian name "Delicious". It's still going downhill as far as veracity is concerned.

Although, "honeycrisp" actually barely covers how amazing this apple is, especially when cold. Don't even bother eating apples if you aren't buying directly from the orchard. I'm serious. get fresh or get lost.

EAT THE FOOD!!!
