Fuji, Gala,Pink Lady were all the same way when they were still new on the market. Honeycrisp trees have been available for quite a few years now but are just now becoming mature enough in commercial orchards to be common in stores. This is the first year I have seen them in markets, although they have been available in Farmers markets for a few years. Look for the price to normalize as the supply increases over the next few years.

I'm from VT and we recently asked the woman who owns the local orchard because even to pick your own they are a lot more expensive. It's because the honeycrisp producing trees do not produce as many as the other types of apple trees and therefore they are not as easy to come by so they charge more.
Basic supply and demand....it's a shame because they are soooo good!

I wondered myself, but I have one left. I'm trying to hang on lol, they were like 4 for $5.00. But I must admit each and every one of them are good. Not like other apples where one may be good the next not so.
