I bought a bag of apples recently that claimed to be Honeycrisp, but when I looked more closely, and especially when I tasted one, I discovered that I had been duped!
I took some pictures of the impostor, and as you can see, it has the same colors as a Honeycrisp, and some of the same streakiness, but the skin is shinier than Honeycrisp, and it lacks the dimples and the russeting at the stem end. Also, the stem is too long.
It's not a bad tasting apple, but the texture is relatively soft and not at all like the characteristic crispness of Honeycrisp.
I would be curious to know what this apple is. If you can identify it, please send email to allen AT allendowney DOT com.
