In reply to the discussion: POLL: APPLES!! [View all]LakeSuperiorView
(1,533 posts)50. I have some Rave apples in my fridge right now. Not bad, but I prefer Ambrosia apples.
I like sweet apples and the Ambrosia is all one could want from a sweet, crisp apple.
Rave is good, but more tart than I'd like. I heard the First Kiss apples were going for $6 an apple at the state fair. I got Rave apples at about $3 a pound at the best lace for produce that I know, Bob's Produce Ranch in Fridley

Years ago I found "Ida M" apples, which were absolutely the best for baking and cooking...
