I liked Honeycrisp back in Minnesota but am not very fond of the Honeycrisp grown in France. Here my current favorite is
Ariane.
Has anyone tried SweeTango? I'd love to get my hands on one of those and see if they live up to all the hype.
I'm partial to Gala and to Fuji.
A Paris friend was eager for me to try reinettes, but I prefer eating apples a little sweeter.
Is SweeTango a French variety?
You can make amazing apple sauce by combining as many different varieties as you can find. Cored, peeled, cooked with no sugar, with a little controlled scorching at the end to add a caramelized note. It has an incredibly delicious complexity.
