Long ago I liked Johnathans but, have found a really good one for maybe 10 years. I go for Honeychrisp now. Ed
Fuji and Honeycrisp are awesome.
I actually like to eat Granny Smiths now and again even though they are supposed to be baking apples.

Honeycrisp - but only when grown in the proper climate. Honeycrisp's were developed by the University of Minnesota, and were developed here. You can easily taste a difference between MInnesota grown ones and ones from places like Washington. Even the color of the apple is off when grown in other climates.
After Honeycrisp, depends on the time of the year. Haralson in late fall, Zestar in early fall. Otherwise, I tend to eat Braeburns...

Granny Smith and Honeycrisp but living in rural New Mexico it is hard to find good apples. HEB in Texas has better apples in their dumpster than the ones our stores buy.

McIntosh apples right off the tree are fantastic also.

A great big Rome or Cortland is impossible to beat.
If you're not near an orchard where they're grown you'll never see a big one.
Bagged Cortlands, a great apple for eating and cooking, are small like Macs.
Sweet Tangos have come on like a "house a fire" bumping Honeycrisps out of the spotlight.
Red Delicious apples appear to me to have been developed for photo shoots. They're rock hard and have little flavor.
Put a stamp on one and sent it to Alaska. It'll arrive unbruised.
I grew up next to an apple orchard so I'm an expert (ah-hem).
