Quite simply, the best apple for snacking is the variety you like best. The next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up a few different varieties until you discover what you prefer.  Our social audience has a clear favorite for snacking. When we asked 1,000 people which apple variety they like best for snacking, they said:  - Gala: 16% - Red Delicious: 2% - Honeycrisp: 66% - Another kind: 16% My husband actually falls in the minority here. He is one of the 2% that actually enjoys snacking on the iconic Red Delicious apple the best. Personally, I'm a fan of Gala apples for snacking.
