Found these miniature apples at the store earlier. Some of you may have tried them but I have not see them before. I put a regular sized apple beside one of these mini apples on my countertop so you can see the size difference. They are really tasty, sort of remind me of the yellow Golden Delicious apples. A sweet taste and very good. Chelan Fresh is known and trusted worldwide for growing the highest quality apples, pears and cherries available from Washington state. They represent family owned farms, many of which are now being led by 4th and 5th generations. Rockit™ apples are grown in the valleys of Central Washington by some of those 5th generation farmers who are driven by family heritage to produce the best tasting fruit available. Have you tried these before? I will purchase these again, if they are on sale. Photo is mine.

Oh my goodness, I have never seen an apple as big as the one in your photo. I would surely like to try one.

@CarolDM I thought that the big one was particularly big. We have small apples here, but not so small.

The big one is a regular sized apple. The others are the miniatures.

I haven't run across these smaller apples. I like the big ones because I usually peel and cut them up into wedges to savour over the course of a day.

I had to try these and thought they would be good for kids. I enjoyed the taste.

@CarolDM Oh yes, excellent for children or for the elderly who prefer smaller portions.

We do have Rockits in our markets - but we have to buy a tub or bag of it (I buy them when they are on sale too

). They are even smaller apples than Rockits - I think they are called Lady apples - or Crimson red - a bit tart but good too. Mini apples are super cute!

@CarolDM The smaller ones are really little - maybe about an inch and a half diameter or a little less?

I bought one type of small apples that aren't crispy.. I like the crispy rather than the cottony ones. They are sweet like the ones on the photo.

They might have been the same. I like these for a change. I usually buy the crispy ones too.

The only apples I really like are Gala or Royal Gala, which is between the two you are showing.

@CarolDM Been thinking about it and can't say I've seen any mini apples, except for the ones that are deliberately picked small. I guess we will get them one day

I have not seen these apples before, nor have I heard of the Rockit or Chelan Fresh names. I’ll keep an eye out for these next time I’m at the grocery store.

I found them the other day for the first time and had to try them. Very good. You would portal have to eat more than I did.

I've never heard of them. I tend to like McIntosh, Gala and Rome Apples (which you can't get anymore).

I see more of the smaller apples than I do the bigger apples. I prefer the smaller apples.

Yes, I was trying to show you the difference in the smaller apples. I bought a bag of the miniature ones. So you have had them before I guess.

I haven't seen these here. It was a good idea to put an 'ordinary' one for comparison. The others are certainly a lot smaller.

I'm not sure I have seen these around our area. Of course we have 1000's of acres of apple trees in our county with generations of farmers farming them. So those may not make it here. I am not a big apple eater but Mike loves ambrosia apples. I bought some at the store for him today.
