peaches and apples! i really like how they both look in new horizons + peaches are one of my favourite fruits irl. though, while their normal variants are still lovely, i’m definitely hoping for the perfect fruit to make a comeback; perfect peaches were just *chef’s kiss*.
Favorite starter fruit?

Apples are definitely my favorite! When I started playing ACNH, I was going to reset if I didn't get either apples, peaches, or pears. I ended up getting Peaches as my starting fruit (...and then kind of turned a lot of my island into apple/pear isle).

My favourite starter fruit is peaches 
I have cherry's though as my native fruit and I love the vibrant red on the trees

it used to always be apples in NL because they had the nicest perfect fruit imo, but now I'd say probably peaches or cherries? although my native is oranges, it's not a huge deal to me now

In the older games I always had cherries but they ruined them in New Horizons IMO
New Horizons
apples
I love them IRL and they fit the aesthetic of my island the most
cherries
My favourite fruit IRL. I had them in the older games but in New Horizons they look plastic. Still better than the others though.
oranges
I like them IRL but in my head my island is located in the very north of Scotland. Oranges fit better in a Mediterranean or tropical setting
peaches
I just don't like how they look in Animal Crossing
pears
I dislike them IRL so I don't want to look at them in Animal Crossing
for the older games switch cherries to first and apples to second

I think it depends on my island theme, but I suppose I generally like peaches, oranges, and pears

apples, i think they look the nicest overall. has a nice small village vibe to it. i also don't mind cherries and oranges.

Pears look the best, in my opinion, so I'd say those are my favorite, but its between those and cherries. Just because it seems that cherries are harder to come by as a starter fruit. There should be a poll in the OP!

I always loved my native cherries on NL because they're my favourite fruit irl, but I was pleased to get apples this time around. They feel the most realistic to me, as out of all of them that's the fruit that grows most naturally in my part of the world. They add to the cosy forest vibe, imo!

They all look good in the game., but I have to say that the Apples and Pears look the best. My island started off with Peaches so I just got tired of looking at them. Just wish there were more options. Maybe throw a Lemon Tree into the next update LOL

I love all of them because they’re absolutely gorgeous in HD, but my favorites would have to be the pears! They’re so pretty & they have a unique color (versus the other fruits which all have red/orange/pink coloring). I love how they look on a royal castlecore island as well as the cottagecore islands.
