Honeycrisp and Frostbite Apples

Developed by the University of Minnesota and released in 1991, the Honeycrisp is prized as an apple bred for taste. They are a mix of green and blush-red and are sweet, tart, and fragrant.
A central part of the U of M apple breeding program since the 1920’s, Frostbite is actually the “grandparent” to the Honeycrisp. The Frostbites are more of a brick-red and super sweet with notes of brown apples (like apple cider or the soda Manzanita Sol).
