I am actually partial to the new metallic looking apple in the Panther 7B74 About Box.

Egads! I'm a lazy cur. I'd ask that the thread get locked, but then it would only be replaced by yet another car thread, so, what the hell....

If it is apple as food then McIntosh, a great eating apple.

The G5 and Panther are my favorite non food apple!

Macintosh are THE best. They smell awesome and they're sweet.

Next would be red delicious.

Next would be winesap, though you rarely see them nowadays.

I LOVE caramel covered apples. For that you have to go with a granny smith or else they're not as good. The tart of the apple against the sweetness of the apple is great.

Oh, and forgot Fuji apples. Love 'em.

Depends. For eating, I'm a Fuji fan.

For baking, I'm a Northern Spie fan. Don't see them much, though. 'Round here, they tell me that "Henries" a good baking apples.

Royal Gala's are pretty good all the way around, if you can't find what you're looking for.

The Granny Smith is definitely the crispety crunchety tartelicious momentary respite of the doomed from this godforsaken empty, meaningless existance.

Nothing beats that, and it goes good with cheddar.

I concur - Fuji and Royal Gala rock. I saw a thing on TV about this lady's candy shop that covers organic, blow-your-head-off-sweet Fuji apples - as large as a child's head - with chocolate, caramel, nuts and things.

I'll have to look for the Northern Spie (sounds like a movie) and Henrie. Lots of extrae e's on thinges there.. Interestinge.
