COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Excellent for eating raw due to their crisp texture and sweet-tart flavor; perfect for salads, slaws, and snacking with nut butters or cheese.
2They hold their shape well when cooked, making them a great choice for pies, tarts, baked apples, and chunky applesauce.
3To prevent browning after slicing, toss the apple pieces with a small amount of acidic liquid like lemon juice or pineapple juice.
4Their natural sweetness means you can often reduce the amount of added sugar in recipes like apple crisp or muffins.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, ideally in a perforated plastic bag, to maintain their signature crispness for up to 3-4 weeks.
Keep apples separate from ethylene-sensitive produce like leafy greens, as apples release ethylene gas which can cause other produce to spoil faster.

What do Honeycrisp apples taste like?

Honeycrisp apples are famous for their exceptionally crisp, juicy texture and a balanced sweet-tart flavor. They have a much larger cell structure than other apples, which causes them to 'snap' when bitten.

Can I use Honeycrisp apples for baking?
