Honeycrisp Apple Harvest

We have three apple trees in our yard:

  • One Arkansas Black Apple (an heirloom variety that The Hubs gave me as a birthday present last November),
  •  a Braeburn (I think—I lost the tag and can’t remember),
  • and a Honeycrisp.

This was the tree a few weeks before harvesting.

The Arkansas Black is too young to produce and the last frost got the mystery tree, but we harvested a trug full of apples off the Honeycrisp this month.

Even the blemished and deformed ones are delicious.

A Honeycrisp apple is true to its name.

There will be no baking recipe for these beauties.

We are eating them all right out of the basket.
