The top shelf of my fridge is full of golden delicious apples right now from my parents’ tree, so let’s chat apples today!

Do you like apples?
Have you ever been apple picking?
Do you prefer red apples or green apples?
 
Do you like apples? Love them.

Have you ever been apple picking? Yes, but not since my college-aged son was a little boy.

Do you prefer red apples or green apples? No preference. I love Granny Smiths, but I also love a nice Honeycrisp. The only apple I don't love is the Red Delicious (I just don't find it delicious).
 
My favourite apples are russets, and we have a russet apple tree in our garden. We planted a mini orchard of our favourite fruits after we bought the house.

I love your page Angela! I don’t know that I’ve tried a russet apple before. I’m glad you get to enjoy them from your own garden.
 
Do you like apples? I do like apples, but I'm super picky lol They have to have a good crisp crunch :)
Have you ever been apple picking? I have! Lots of times :) We have some great apple orchards close by.
Do you prefer red apples or green apples? I prefer green!

Crisp apples are the best!

That's fun you have a lot of orchards close by. I grew up picking apples off our own tree so I've never actually been to an orchard to do it.
 
Do you like apples? Yes I love apples
Have you ever been apple picking? yes many times , we have many apple orchards near us. And a nearby town holds an apple fest yearly
Do you prefer red apples or green apples? depends on my mood. but normally I prefer the more sour green ones. Or even the yellow. Or .. best of all Camel

The apple fest sounds fun!

I agree that my taste in apples depends on my mood. Sometimes I want sour, sometimes I want sweet.

I'm neutral about apples. I eat a few* per month just to have variety in my diet. I prefer red apples, but not Red Delicious, which are not delicious and often mushy. Any other variety works for me.
I have been apple picking 2 or 3 times, back around 2005 and 2008, when my kids were little, with our homeschool group. We've also picked strawberries and pumpkins. It's my favorite part of living so close to rural land here in Virginia (which was not the case in the first 29 years of my life, in southern CA). We have some good farmers markets around here too.

I'll also share my favorite apple story. When my son was little he frequently requested for a snack all of these: applesauce, a freshly sliced apple, and apple juice.

*I edited 'couple' to be 'few' after remembering that occasionally I will shred an apple into my week's supply of fridge oats. It adds a subtle sweetness. (I don't use any sugar other than fruit.)
 
Do you like apples? Yes!
Have you ever been apple picking? Yes, it has been a long time, but yes, I've picked apples before.
Do you prefer red apples or green apples? Either a long as they are nice and crisp! I love homemade applesauce too!
 
Do you like apples? Yes, but I'm very picky. They need to be crisp and sweet.
Have you ever been apple picking? We used to have three apple trees at our last house, courtesy of the previous owners - A Golden Delicious, Spartan and Macintosh, so lots to pick. I only liked the Golden Delicious to eat fresh. The Macintosh was good for sauce and pies, while the Spartan was much like a Red Delicious (mushy and tasteless) and we took it out not long after we moved in and planted a plum tree.
Do you prefer red apples or green apples? I prefer Galas, Jonagolds (which are both gold and red) and Fuji, more green.

I love your favorite apple story! So cute! Thank you for sharing. :)

I had fridge oats today and I wanted to add something but couldn't think of anything. Next time I will try shredded apple.

I bought my kids applesauce today and I probably should've made it instead since my fridge is full of apples...

Three apple trees is definitely a lot to pick! I haven't heard of Spartan before, but it sounds like replacing it with a plum tree was a good choice.
 
Do you like apples? Yes
Have you ever been apple picking? Not yet, hopefully one day!
Do you prefer red apples or green apples? I love green apple slices dipped in caramel. My weakness.

Do you like apples? I do! Especially covered in caramel! :giggle

Have you ever been apple picking? We used to take the kids every year to go apple picking. We live in the "fruit belt" of Michigan (SW corner) and there are tons of orchards around us to pick from and some have all kinds of extra stuff like cider presses you can use to make your own cider, donuts, hay rides, corn mazes, etc.

Do you prefer red apples or green apples? I love honeycrisp apple which are red, but I also really like golden delicious which are yellow, so I guess I don't have a color preference.
