Apple of the Week: EverCrisp Apples

June 9, 2026

When people think of apples, they often picture crisp autumn days, colorful leaves, and orchard adventures. But some apples are so good they deserve attention all year long, and EverCrisp apples are at the top of that list.

If you've never tried an EverCrisp apple before, you're in for a treat. This fan-favorite variety combines the best qualities of its parents, Honeycrisp and Fuji, creating an apple that's exceptionally sweet, incredibly juicy, and famously crunchy. In fact, EverCrisp apples are known for holding their crisp texture longer than many other varieties, making them a favorite for snacking, baking, and just about everything in between.

Great for Storage

Unlike some apples that soften quickly, EverCrisp apples maintain their texture for months when stored properly. That means you can enjoy orchard-fresh flavor long after harvest season.

Strawberry Season Meets Apple Season

While strawberries may be stealing the spotlight right now, don't overlook the delicious pairing of fresh strawberries and EverCrisp apples. The sweet-tart strawberries complement the honeyed flavor of EverCrisp apples perfectly, creating a refreshing combination that tastes like summer and fall decided to team up.

If you're looking for a simple recipe that celebrates both fruits, try this easy Strawberry EverCrisp Apple Crisp.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle topping evenly over the fruit.
