Honey Crisp Honors

In 2006 the Honeycrisp Apple named the Minnesota State Fruit and was selected as one of the top 25 innovations in over a decade in the 2006 Better World Report.

Explosively Juicy & Crisp

Two benefits truly set Honeycrisp Apples apart from other apples. The first is their exceptionally crisp and juicy texture. Bite into the cream-colored flesh and the large cells explode with juice in your mouth, carrying a delightful, well-balanced, sub-acid and mildly aromatic flavor.

Excellent Storage Life

The second strong benefit of Honeycrisp Apples is their amazing storage life. Outstanding flavor and texture can be maintained for at least seven months in refrigerated storage without atmosphere modification. Think of it. You can have a great apple to pick and then store, sell or savor for more than half the year!

A Great Mid-Season Apple

The harvest season for great tasting Honeycrisp Apples typically starts in early September and can continue to the end of September and even early October. Please call or check our picking schedule videos as we do get picked out. 

Best Uses

An excellent eating apple that is also good for sauce, baking, and pies.

History of the Cultivar

Honey Crisp was developed at the MN Agricultural Experimental Stations Horticultural Research center at the University of MN and released in 1991. It is a cross between the "Keepsake" but the other cultivars are unknown.
