Honey Crisps are nice. With all the precipitation last year around here in the fruit belt the apples were abnormally large, crisp and juicy. A grower gave me five Honey Crisps that were over a pound in weight each, picked that morning.
Northern Spy are supposedly the best baking apple but I like them for their tart taste. They're a late season variety and I switch to them when the McIntosh apples begin to go soft.
