Honeycrisp

Sweet-tart apple variety

Honeycrisp is a variety of apple developed in Minnesota, prized for its exceptionally crisp texture and balanced sweet-tart flavor.

The cells rupture cleanly when bitten, releasing juice—a quality that made it a premium grocery item: Honeycrisps are expensive but worth it.

It has become one of the most popular eating apples in America.
