Honey Crisp Apples

We like to try new foods. While shopping one day, my husband grabbed a bag of a new variety of apple named Honey Crisp. Turns out it has been around for awhile, but it was new to us. It was absolutely the very best apple we have ever tried. My cousin has a theory that we are all searching for the perfect whatever. You know, you want an item and you search endlessly for the perfect one of it. Well, we have arrived with the perfect apple. They are crisp, sweet - but not too sweet- and have a nice shelf life. I decided to look it up on Wikipedia and the funny thing about this apple is that they don't know the parents of the breed. The University of Minnesota that does extensive apple rearing and note taking on the subject somehow lost track of one of the parents. One is a variety called Keepsake, but the other parent is unknown. Maybe it was simply a numbered variety that the university decided to delete. Anyway, isn't it odd that the best apple in the world is a mystery? You can read more at: http://www.minnesotaharvest.net/apple_honeycrisp.htm
Try one, you will like it.
