Jake decides that since we have one bucket, we can only fill it with the world’s best, crispiest apples. So, we make it a game. If someone sees a good one, we will stop at nothing to get it. I sit on his shoulders to reach a Red Delicious. He climbs a tree to get a Honeycrisp I’m certain is going to be juicy. I jump like a lunatic until I can reach an Empire.
Red Delicious apples aren’t really that great. I like Honeycrisp or Gala or Fuji apples. Those are the best. Granny Smith apples aren’t too bad either. They’re especially good for baking.
