Best Baking Apples

[KK7]

I havn't really baked in a long time but my daughter Kayla is getting into it more , along with me lol and for the life of me I can't reamber what Apples I use to use for Apple Crisp. When I google I get different answers. Suggestions? I tryed Mac last night but found a bit mussy

For something like apple crisp I use Spartans or Macs - same as for pies.

thanks natalka should of thought to ask you lol I use to bake alot then got into a stump but want to get back into it more

For pies I love spy apples. I have heard Cortland is a good apple for cooking but I will search high and low for spy- normally a farmer's market or orchard has the bags but the regular grocery stores don't seem to have bags of spy. I also like to eat spy. I was on an orchard website this morning to see if they said anything different and nope. Mac would probably be good for apple sauce.

I made apple crisp with freshly picked jonagold apples and it turned out great.

I make a lot of apple pie and Mac was the best I am sure it would be the same for apple crisp as well, the worst was Royal Gala apples the seem soft but when cooking them for 30 more minutes then my recipe it still seemed they were just peeled

I always use Green Granny Smith Apples

the man at the apple farm near my place told me to use Cortland

they sell all kinds, but he suggested that for baking. I have used them many times in crisps, and have never been disappointed

I like Granny Smith or the ones from my back yard. No idea their name, but not crabs.

I find for a pie it is nice to mix 2-3 kinds-for eg ambrosia and gala and for an apple crisp try to add some golden delicious into your mix.

I have always used Green Granny Smith apples and I think they work the best. Sprinkle some lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar on them for apple cakes.

Granny Smith are one of the best baking apples..I mostly use it for making pie..

[BCSparkyGirl]

I like the jonagold as well.

When I bake pies I use 1/2 Granny Smith & 1/2 Spartan
You need that tang of the Granny Smith but I find them too sour so I use half & half & Spartans are a good "inbetween". Red Apples on thier own are almost too bland & MacIntosh I find stay too hard
