I have no fucking clue what I'm doing when I am in the apple section Walmart.
Can one of you fags rate the different varieties of apples from God Tier to Shit Tier (for eating, not cooking)?
Red Delicious
McIntosh
Golden Delicious
Gala
Granny Smith
Fuji
Braeburn
Pink Lady
Honeycrisp
We don't get McIntosh here in Bongistan, but depending on what you want:
Tart:
Granny Smith
Mellow:
Golden Delicious
Red Delicious
Gala
Pink Lady
Good balance of tart and sweet:
Braeburn
Fuji
Honeycrisp
I find a good crisp braeburn to be absolute god tier, but if they're old they can have a really shit texture. If they feel very firm you should be good to go, but why the fuck don't you just buy a couple apples from a few varieties when you go shopping and make the decision yourself?
>for eating
Pink Lady
Fuji
Honeycrisp
Braeburn
McIntosh
Gala
Granny Smith
Golden Delicious
Red Delicious
If you have to put "delicious" in the name, you know it's going to be shit.
God Tier: Granny Smith
Shit Tier:Everything else
I'm tired of making this post
You guys need to learn already
Honeycrisp best apple
Everything else can go home
I like to dig my fingernails into as many apples as I can before selecting one.
here's mine in order
-pink lady (sweet, tart, AND crisp)
-honeycrisp
-granny smith
then they get more mild with
-gala
-mcintosh
-braeburn
-fuji (crispy imo but no flavor)
-golden delicious, ok for applesauce
-red delicious last place its gross
>buying produce at a supermarket
i like doing with the $7.99/lb heirloom tomatoes
>i have no idea what apples are
>i shop at wal mart
I am shocked. Simply shocked.
Just put them down and wander back over to the frozen foods you fat slob.
granny smith is goat if you like tart apples
God Tier
>Pink Lady
>Empire
>Braeburn
>Gala
High Tier
>Granny Smith
>Fuji
>Honeycrisp
Mid Tier
>McIntosh
>Golden Delicious
Low Tier
>Red Delicious
Only buy Red Delicious if you're looking to create an aesthetically pleasing centerpiece that is not meant to be consumed. The quality of Red Delicious apples has declined precipitously since the 1930s.
You get Ingrid Marie in the states? Absolute god tier
>god tier
granny smith is the only correct answer
>pretty good tier
anything that isn't those mushy yellow ones, the half red half gold ones are alright
>shit tier
those shitty mushy yellow ones
Red Gala and Granny Smith are the only apples you should eat and all the others are shit.
Dude no please
Honeycrisp
Pink Lady
Fuji
Granny Smith
Jazz
Red Delicious
Michigan here (so we know our apples) and my mom's favorites were Golden Delicious but she became a Honeycrisp fan (as did I) when they started coming around.
Forgot my pic;
>tfw live in British Columbia, home of God tier apples
Y'all niggas don't know shit about ambrosias and Pacific rose

Imo high quality Fuji is the best if you like sweet apples, the cheap ones are kind of shitty though.
Mid-price apples:
Honeycrisp
Granny Smith (make some dank caramel apples)
Fuji
Braeburn
Pink Lady
Gala
Empire
McIntosh
Golden Delicious
Red Delicious
Some great apples grow all over the place in WA. They're ripe for the picking during fall, if you're ballsy enough to trespass and nab them.
Honeycrisp is king.
