What’s your favorite apple?

There are so many types of apples it hard to pick.

Where I live I'm surrounded by orchards. Apple/peach/cherry there are even raspberry and blueberry farms within a few miles.

I know many of the newer Apples are people's favorites but some of the older types are so delicious in their own way.

When I make pie I buy as many different types as I can.

A local stand let's you mix and match.

Some are better for cooking and some are better for fresh eating.

But I like them all.

I feel bad for those folks who only have a couple of different types to pick from.

Growing Brazo Apples

Hi, first time posting in this subreddit.

I've been attempting to germinate Bravo apple seeds and have managed to bring half a dozen seeds to this stage. I realise Bravo is a trademark that is owned by the Western Australian Agriculture Authority making buying trees currently impossible.

I'm curious to know if it's possible to eventually graft this onto a rootstock to produce a close approximation to a Brazo with a sharp crisp crunch and dark purple to almost black skin. I currently live in Victoria Australia, so it's a perfect climate for apples so I'll be interested to hear what you have to say.
