Return to Trader Joes

[susandennis]

So my modus operandi apple wise is to leave them on the counter until it's their time. Then cut the next one into 8ths and put it in the fridge. I snack on a slice now and then and often have several with my lunch. Every day. And my go to is Fuji.

But yesterday, in Trader Joe's, they did not have any single Fuji's! They were very apple-light. So I got another kind that was on an end cap display. I pulled off the sticky labels and put them on the counter except the one I sliced up.

Today I had some cheese and crackers for lunch and some apple. OMG OMG OMG!!! What is this apple?? It's like the candy of fruit. And all crisp and juicy and perfect. But, what the heck was it?

With the apple situation as it was at Trader Joe's, I was pretty sure they would be rearranging soon and all I knew was where these were yesterday. So I just got back into the car and went right back to Trader Joe's.



And turns out that they are available at all the grocery stores and year round. Why have I never heard of them before???

I have a stash now. The Internets say 6 weeks in the crisper. I only got 10. No way will they last 6 weeks.

Funny. Basically a Washington State thing. We don't have a local Trader Joes or I'd check but they may only be in the northwest.

They are constantly coming up with new varieties. This one was, apparently, accidental.

They don’t have them in the Midwest; I checked.

Fujis are hands down my favorite, I'll have to see if we have these by me!

I haven't seen those before!

Honey crisp are my absolute favourite! There is a variant "cosmic crisp" that some like better, but I prefer the honey crisp :D

$1.29 for a single apple?

I'm with Spiffikins, in the Honey Crisp camp. They make me happy. If the Sugar Bee apples make it to Wisconsin I will certainly try one.
