My grandmother use to bake apple pies using either Granny Smith or Golden Delicious. Both are great baking apples as they stay crisp, flavorful, hold their shape, and color during the cooking process.
Happy baking! :)

Any tart, crisp apple is best for pies and tarts. Granny Smith is the most popular. You could also try Golden Delicious, Rome, and Jonathan apples. I prefer juicier and sweeter ones for cakes, though.

Granny Smith apples are good for pies turnovers and cakes.. Brauburn apples are good for pies too. Red or golden delicious apples are good for applesauce. Try out different apples with different things and see how they turn out. Happy cooking!

In an apple pie? Combo of granny smiths and washington apples. granny smiths for tartness and washingtons for the mushiness.

Cortland or Granny Smith depends on where you live. But, MacIntosh are the best for applesauce.
