  I only had one apple out of four trees but considering the previous owner (landscaper) only planted this variety, I was surprised to get any, Nice crisp, tasty apple I'm anxious to get more of a taste.

  This apple has a very sweet taste! It tastes like a cross between golden delicious and a honey crisp. A bit soft texture, I prefer a crisper texture but it is a very good eating apple!

  Candy crisp apple lives up to its name. Nice and crispy with good texture. Super sweet. I prefer a more tart apple. This one is too sweet for me and lacks apple flavor. I am enjoying it diced I to plain Greek yogurt. The combo is excellent.

  Sampled at a farmer's market in Orange County, CA. Locally grown. I thought it had good juice and crunch but far too sweet for my taste. Similar to Honeycrisp

  Bo - I found this to be nearly identical to the Honeycrisp, with only slightly less sweetness, yet with less of an apple flavor giving the fructose a more caramel taste. Enjoyable, but a firm second to the Honeycrisp. Brent - This apple's texture and flavor make it one of the best sweet apples I've ever had. Very crisp without being too hard to eat and sweet as candy.

  Just moved to the Hudson Valley this year from Chicago. Found a Candy Crisp in a local grocery chain and it has become my new favorite fruit. I never understood why people like apples. This apple is the best fruit I have ever tasted. My friend from wisconsin never heard of this variety. Her favorite is a Honey Crisp (which never impressed me) she cant wait to visit the Hudson Valley to try this Candy Crisp !
