Honeycrisps

Crunchy red fruit

Honeycrisps are a variety of apple developed in Minnesota, known for their exceptionally crisp texture and balanced sweet-tart flavor.

The cells rupture cleanly when bitten, producing a distinctive crunch.

They've become a premium grocery staple since the 1990s: Honeycrisps are expensive but worth it.

Also spelled Honey Crisps or Honeycrisp (singular as a variety name).
