That’s a big thumbs down on both red and green delicious apples. Thick skins, overly sweet and grainy consistency. 2 big omissions…Macintosh and Northern Spy. Both are crisp, tart and satisfying to crunch into. The best kinds of baking apples are those with a tart flesh. Northern Spy covers that angle in spades.
Envy apples are the best.

I find the best apple for apple pie is the McIntosh apple. It is an old variety and can be hard to find. Great for apple butter or applesauce too…
