A Honey Crisp apple.
Friends ... these apples are divine! I crave them and they haunt my dreams! The problem is they are not easy to find. Apparently, they are a "designer" apple. (If the red delicious was a pair of Old Navy jeans, the Honey Crisp would be a pair of Citizens.) It is some weird cross breed that the University of Minnesota made up. I have to search high and low to find them, but I found them today! Apparently, the middle of October is the optimum harvest time for these crispy delights!
So, go out and find yourself one. You will not be sorry!

amen! just tried one last week! even though they are a little bit more expensive (almost a dollar more a pound here!)---well worth it! and they are BIGGER than the others too!
p.s.green apple jolly ranchers do not count as apple "by-products"
They are the BEST apples. My mom told be about them when I lived in Florida and you could not get them there at all, no one even know what they were. But Idaho has them, thank goodness! :0)
