🚨🍎THE WAIT IS OVER! 🍎🚨 HONEYCRISPS ARE READY FOR PICKING!
The apple everyone has been waiting for has officially arrived at Apple Holler! That first bite of a fresh-picked Honeycrisp is something special: sweet, juicy, wonderfully crisp, with just the right amount of tartness.
There’s some pretty cool history behind this crowd favorite!
A Minnesota original: Honeycrisp was developed through the University of Minnesota’s apple breeding program and was officially released in 1991. It helped spark a whole new appreciation for apples with an exceptionally crisp, juicy texture.
What does it taste like? Honeycrisp is famous for its balance of sweetness and tartness, along with that signature crunchy, juicy texture.
Best uses: Of course, it’s fantastic for eating fresh, but Honeycrisp is also delicious sliced into salads, paired with cheese, baked into treats, or turned into applesauce.
Fun fact: Honeycrisp became such an important benchmark for apple breeders that the University of Minnesota now uses it as one of the standards when evaluating new apple varieties!
Grab your picking bag, gather your favorite people, and come experience the apple everyone has been waiting for... Honeycrisp season is HERE!🍎
