Granny Smith apples are a good choice.
because over the years they mess the apples up
You need to use a good quality, firm apple, such as Golden Delicious or Granny Smith. I use a combination of the two because the golden delicious are sweeter and the granny smith tend to be more tart. A lot of supermarkets have a sign by the apples stating the best uses for that type of apple. Most importantly is that if the apple is dry or has a mushy texture when you eat it raw, it will make a bad pie. You want a good crisp apple if you plan to use it in your pie.
Some good substitute options for McIntosh apples in baking recipes are Granny Smith apples, Honeycrisp apples, or Fuji apples. These varieties are also sweet and tart, making them suitable replacements in most recipes.
Apple pie: Granny Smith. I offers a nice little bit of sour to the sweetness of the sauce. It also tends to be the apple that best retains its shape and texture when being cooked, so it doesn't turn to mush when being prepared. Apple sauce: Red Delicious or Fiji, both of them very sweet naturally and easy to cut, they can make good apple sauce without the use of too much sugar and spice. Candy Apples: It is a matter of preference, the popular answer is Red Delicious though Golden Delicious and Johnathan apples also are good choices.
Some substitute options for Macintosh apples in baking recipes include Granny Smith apples, Honeycrisp apples, and Fuji apples. These varieties are also good for baking due to their firm texture and sweet-tart flavor.
Tart, juicy and firm apples are the kinds that best are used when baking pies. Excellent candidates are Cortland and McIntosh. Very good candidates are Golden Delicious, Jonathan, and Rome Beauty.These suggestions are based on the information in 'Betty Crocker's Cookbook', Golden new and revised edition.
Knowing that apples are good for you,my question is .... are red apples better for you than green apples, I had a heart attack and had 3 stents put in , my diet should be no or very low salt, low fat, very lean meat grilled or baked, lots of good veggies and lots of good fruit.
I think the best apple to bake with is yellow delicious apples. they are big and firm much easier to bake with than other apples. Granny Smith apples are also considered good baking apples.
Green apples are more acidic and spoil more quickly. Red and yellow apples are sweeter and take longer to spoil. The tartness of apples will cause them to rot quickly.
The best cooking apples for making pies and other baked goods are varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Jonagold. These apples have a good balance of sweetness and tartness, hold their shape well when baked, and add a delicious flavor to your baked treats.
