Dreaming of a warm apple pie, a comforting crumble, or a batch of melt-in-your-mouth apple muffins? The secret to baking bliss starts with the right apple! Not all apples are created equal when it comes to baking.
For pies and tarts where you want the apple to hold its shape, go for firm and slightly tart varieties like **Granny Smith**, **Honeycrisp**, or **Braeburn**. Their tangy flavor balances the sweetness of the filling, and they won't turn to mush during baking.
If you prefer a softer texture, **Golden Delicious** and **Jonagold** apples are excellent choices. They break down slightly, creating a wonderfully moist and tender result.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different blends to find your perfect apple combination. Happy baking!
