I just tried a new (at least to me) variety called Sweet Tango. It was delicious!! It was a nice crisp texture but not too crisp either. Just on the tart side; which I liked. My DD and I ate it up!
Normally I go out to a local orchard that seems to have at least a dozen varieties in stock in the fall. They keep a big chart on the wall to explain each one and what it's good for. I usually mix a sweet and a tart for baking pies. It's always come really nice!
I picked up these apples today at the local grocery store (the orchard is a good drive for me). I was reading the signs on them and it surprised me when it said not to use the Granny Smith for baking because it "will ruin the flavor." I've always used them in baking and it's been yummy! So I guess that's a matter of opinion then?
What are your favs for eating and baking?
