Fuji Gala Golden Delicious if desperate What to put on/in them (occasionally) - peanut butter or cheese spread (makes it taste as if it has brie on it) ---

Nothing beats the Fuji Apples. They are the crunchiest, sweetest, most delicious apples around. ---

Jonagold, Granny Smith, and there are two more I just can’t think of at the moment. I think one of them has the word lady in the name but I’m not sure. I know them when I see them at the farmers market, though! ---

Mutsu, I think they go by another name as well, can’t remember it, though, they’re HUGE green apples, tart and crunchy. Put me down for Granny Smiths too, and I love those for pie, they stay firm and crisp, not mushy and wet. ---

Gravenstein, Tsugaru, Northern Spy, Winter Banana, and Sekai Ichi! Every fall I drive to the apple farms in central Washington State to get some of the rarer apples. Last year I got 14 types. The top ten breeds comprise %90 of apple sales in the US, so almost all of the types that can be found in grocery stores are the same 6-10 breeds.

[Pacific Rose](http://knowledge.nzoom.com/cda/printable/1,1856,104719,00.html), but Royal Gala is ok in a pinch. ---

Golden Delicious. But the G4 Imac with the 17" monitor runs a close second. 😃 ---
