Description
Honeycrisp apples feature a striking yellow background with a red to pink blush and are speckled with small lenticels. Their exceptionally crisp and aromatic creamy white flesh offers a balanced sweet-tart flavor that intensifies as the apple matures. These apples maintain their sweet taste when cooked, making them ideal for baking into crisps or pies, and can be transformed into applesauce, preserves, or apple butter by slow cooking slices after removing the skin. Their crisp texture shines in raw dishes—dice them into coleslaw or chopped salads, or slice thinly to elevate sandwiches and burgers. Medium to large in size with around 80 calories per apple, Honeycrisps are rich in dietary fiber, particularly pectin known to reduce cholesterol and slow glucose metabolism. They also offer a boost of Vitamins A and C, concentrated mainly in the skin.
