If they have the Washington label, it's very likely they were grown in or near Wenatchee, where I live, the "Apple Capital of the World." There's nothing like buying them from a roadside stand, picked off the tree a few hours earlier. One of our local fruit packers has a retail store where they sell all varieties (including Honeycrisp) for $0.79 - $0.99/lb. Another relatively new variety is Pinata, a cross between a Gold Delicious and a Cox Orange Pippin. The Pinata Apple won “Apple of the Year 2004” honors in Europe. Its flavor is very sweet and it has a softer texture. Personally, I still like Fuji apples the best.
