The Best Apples For Baking

With any apple recipe the end result can vary based on the apples used. Apple texture and flavor are both very important when baking with apples. I think the best apple for baking is Granny Smith. Their firm texture and tart flavor work wonderfully in apple dessert recipes.

When possible I like to mix Granny Smith apples with one or two other types of apples for even more flavor. My top choices are Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Jonathan, Braeburn or Pink Lady.

One apple I never use for baking is Red Delicious. Their texture turns grainy and mealy, they tend to release a lot of water resulting in soggy results and their mild flavor doesn’t really do apple recipes justice. I also avoid Gala and McIntosh for baking.
