I have never been apple picking, but I remember my grandmother's family lived in the mountain in Virginia.  I took her and my great aunt to there house one year and they went apple picking while my daughter and I went to the lake.  They had such funny stories to tell when they got home.

Apple picking sounds so fun and autumnal, I've never lived in a place that had it so I've never been. Hope I get to give it a whirl someday.

I like all apples, although   I am sort of picky when it comes to  baking apple  pies.  Some apples  are  just not for baking. But  for the most part I will eat any kind of apple because  I like them all.  I don't have apple trees any more  so  I will be going over to the neighbors and pick them.  I will put a few into the freezer already make up into pies and then the rest  we will be picking them and then taking them to the Ministry of Hope. He donates them every year outside of what he may put up which is just a drop in the barrel  compared to what he donates.

We used to go apple picking when the kids were young.  If we went on the weekend of the Festival, they had horse drawn wagons that took people out to the trees.  You could be dropped off at different varieties of apples.  Haralson, Honey Crisp, Cortland are some of the varieties that I liked.

I don’t know. I guess I like Cortland, Pink Lady, and MacIntosh. Sometimes, I wonder if MacIntosh had been Steve Jobs’s favorite apple since there have been many generations of Apple computers by that name.

I haven't picked any apples in so long. I would love to do that this year if I get a chance. My favorite apples are red delicious  :)

I have to agree with Honeycrisp.  Dh likes Pacific Rose.

I don't really have a favorite. Apple picking sounds fun! I am going to hubers orchard, a near by farm, maybe we can pick some apples.

We used to go apple picking every September when the kids were little up til they were married and moved away.  The orchard we visited had a big Fall Festival with inflatables for the kids, a petting zoo, pony rides, and horse drawn wagon rides out to the trees.  It was great fun.

I don't really have a favorite apple because I do not eat apples that much, but I do enjoy eating them when I do have a taste for one.

When I was a child we had our own apple trees to pull from.  It was ok but not a great time to pull apples.  It gets tiring.
