Apple Tasting!

The girls excited about apple tasting!
Fall is the season for apples and what better way is there to determine a favorite apple than to have an apple tasting!

Erik bought 8 apples, sliced them, and put them on plates for us to try.  He secretly knew the identity of each  apple and the four of us (minus Matthew - he doesn't care about apples) ranked the apples favorite to least favorite (1 to 8).

Below is the spreadsheet listing our results.

Apple
Number
Type Erik Gina Jenna Sarah
1 Golden Delicious 8 5 5 8
2 Fuji 7 4 1 6
3 Braeburn 1 7 6 2
4 Gala 3 1 3 5
5 Red Delicious 5 2 7 7
6 Granny Smith 4 8 8 1
7 Honey Crisp 2 3 2 3
8 Jonagold 6 6 4 4

I was not surprised that Gala was my favorite. It really is the best apple. You should try it - you'll agree. I'll wait...

Now aren't Gala apples just plain awesome!?!

Sarah surprised me by picking the sourest, tartest apples as her favorites. Everyone had different favorites and different least favorites.

This was so much fun and we ended up making a caramel apple smoothie with the leftover apples.

I see your Gala and raise you a Haralson. Gala are good though.


Apples FTW.
