Favorite Apple?

I agree, it is Red but it is NOT delicious

How did it become America's apple?

I love that there are so many varieties available now

Growing up it was Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith and that was it

True. The 2 mushy gross apples and the one sold green making people think it’s ripe. If you ever find an heirloom red delicious tree, it’s not completely red, it’s skin is much thinner and it’s actually a good Apple. It’s jaut not shiny red and pretty.

Now a Granny Smith if you leave them on the tree until they turn a greenish yellow and ripens is an amazing apple. There’s a fruit stand by Morro Bay on the coast which sells ripened Granny Smith. Whole different Apple.
