The Honeycrisp Apple, known in Europe as the Honeycrunch Apple, is one of the University of Minnesota's best-known apples. They are widely grown around the world. Millions have been sold to people who love the well-balanced sweet-tart taste, and explosively crisp, juicy texture.
Honeycrisp was named the Minnesota State Fruit in 2006.
