Arkansas Blacks. No question. Best eating apple ever. But I feel remiss not mentioning Banana Popsicle Apples. I grew up in a overgrown 120 year old heritage orchard in northern Oregon. We had about 25 apple trees of various kinds, mostly unknown by name to us. There were three trees with yellow thin skinned fruit that tasted just like a banana popsicle. I’ve had produce folks try to convince me that they were Winter Banana Apples, but the flavor is still a bit wrong. Perhaps a cross… But nothing has ever tasted quite as good as our long-lost Banana Popsicle Apples.
