Our Ramsey, NJ fruit store (Steve's) get's my applause for bringing both Pink Lady and Honeycrisp apples to this North NJ area. In Europe it is sometimes marketed as Honeycrunch. The flavor whilst not outstanding is certainly very good, making it a very enjoyable and undemanding apple, particularly if cooled in the fridge before eating. Honeycrisp has become a runaway success in the USA, with demand regularly outstripping supply. It has good disease resistance and although developed for cold-hardiness, appears to have a very wide climate range. Honeycrisp has proven to be a good variety for the commercial grower and also the backyard orchardist. In contrast many apple varieties held in cold store tend to ripen and then go past their best very quickly once they are taken out of storage. Interestingly it appears that the flavour can improve for 7-10 days after being taken out of cold store, which means that stock taken from cold store and then purchased by consumers is likely to be in optimum condition. The apples keep until April in storage and retain their crispness. Northern hemisphere fruit ripens relatively early in September. Surprisingly for a modern commerical apple variety, Honeycrisp tends to bruise easily, and therefore is usually sold in packs rather than loose. However since the flesh is quite light, the crunch is surprisingly soft, nothing like the hard crisp crunch of a good Golden Delicious. As its name suggests this is genuinely a crisp / crunchy apple.

The skin may be flecked with occasional russet dots. Honeycrisp is a medium-to-large sized apple, with a light green/yellow background largely covered with red-orange flush with strong hint of pink if grown in good sunlight.

In 2017 the results of further analyses were published whcih proved that Keepsake was a parent, along with another selection called MN1627 which has now been lost, and that Golden Delicious and Duchess of Oldenburg were grandparents of MN1627. Honeycrisp does have a close resemblance in flavor and appearance to Keepsake. This seemed plausible, but subsequently the University carried out a DNA test which indicated that the records were incorrect, and suggested Keepsake - another University of Minnesota variety might have been one of the parents. The University of Minnesota initially stated that the original parentage was Honeygold (raised in the 1930s from a cross between Golden Delicious and another University of Minnesota development, Haralson) and Macoun, a well-known American variety, developed in the 1920s. The parentage of modern apple varieties is often obscure because they are the result of lengthy breeding programs with cross after cross. One of the objectives of this breeding programme has been to develop varieties which can tolerate the bitter cold of winters in some parts of the USA, and most plantings have been in the northern USA, including New England, Minnesota and Washington State.

Honeycrisp comes from a long line of apples developed by the University of Minnesota from the 1930s onwards. It is increasingly available in supermarkets. Honeycrisp, or Honey Crisp, is a modern apple variety, developed in the 1960s and introduced to the market in the 1990s - sometimes trademarked as Honeycrunch.
