Rave

It’s time to bury grandma because this explosive newcomer will shatter your expectations of a sour apple and make even the most stalwart Granny Smith fan throw dirt on that contemptible caramel utensil people call an apple. While not as psychotically sour as the demented Kanzi, the Rave manages to pack in the flavor at a reasonable dosage that won’t cause you to dissociate in the produce section of your local Ralph’s. With a good snap and a thin skin that harkens back to its Honeycrisp heritage, this apple gives you a lot to rave about.

Piñata Apples: A Review

Last week, I got an email asking me if I wanted a sample of Piñata apples from Stemilt Growers. Stemilt is a farm based in Wenatchee, Washington which is about 2.5 hours from Seattle.  I got two beautiful apples on Friday. Piñata is a cross between England's Cox's Orange Pippin, Russia's Duchess of Oldenburg, and the classic American apple, Golden Delicious. The Piñata apples reminded me of Honeycrisp, and I really liked them.

I used one of the apples at my friend David's pizza party on Saturday. Everyone who came to the party brought their own ingredients, and I brought caramelized onions, Italian sausage and a Piñata apple. I sliced the apple thinly, but I would have used a mandolin in the future to make even slices.  You can find the apples at Fairway in Brooklyn and online on Facebook.
