apples.

1. Yum

McIntosh, Haralson and Cortland are my favorite Minnesota apples.

3. Never heard of Haralson.

There are a couple breeds I'm growing fond of but their names escape me at the moment.

4. Haralson's are a slightly tart apple that is best near the first frost

It is both a good eating apple and a fabulous baking apple. They are mostly green with patches of red. Not mealy at all and crisp in texture.

9. I've not seen them in stores.

But maybe I haven't been looking close enough. We usually get the Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Jonathon, Winesap and a few others.

10. You may be too far south

They are common in mid-September here in the Twin Cities.

11. I'll have to try some when I get to the Cities in the fall.

2. Pippins, baby....

My mother made a Pippin Pie
that would make a grown man cry....

5. I've never heard of that variety either.

But the way you describe them I bet they're good.

6. Think slightly tart and tangy...but ramps up sweetly...

with just the correct amount of sugar and spice....

7. That does sound like a nice pie apple.

8. What region are Pippins grown in

Sounds like an apple I would love!

[Tikki]

12. From a quick looksy around the internets, I see they appear in most Apple

growing regions.

I grew up in Washington State...apples, go figure...but, we get them seasonal in So Cal....
They start showing up pretty soon: Sept or Oct.

Ask your produce person...maybe they are called something else where you live,
Insist on a firm and crunchy Pippin.....this is not a soft mushy apple.
