Which Apples To Use
For the pies, tarts, and cakes, use firm apples that hold their shape and don't turn into mush in the oven. I like to use Gala, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith. Softer, sweeter eating apples are best for apple cider and apple butter, where you want them to break down anyway. And really, the best apple is the one sitting in your fruit bowl already!
