So many apples-so little time! But which are good for baking? For best results, try combining some of the sweet and tart varieties below.

Sweet

  • Braeburn: This red- and gold-speckled apple is juicy sweet with spicy, pearlike undertones.
  • Golden Delicious: This apple has crisp yellow to yellow-green skin and a deliciously sweet, mellow flavor. The flesh is soft, rich, and creamy.
  • Jonagold: A sweet-tart favorite, this juicy red-blushed apple is a cross between Golden Delicious and Jonathan. The flavors are more distinct than Golden Delicious but retain the same rich buttery undertones.

Tart

  • Cortland: With a firm, dense flesh, this red-hued apple has a crisp, snappy flavor.
  • Granny Smith: Puckery, sharp, and zingy- Granny Smith’s flavor is slightly reminiscent of
    sour apple-flavor candy. This firm apple holds its shape well when cooked.
  • Jonathan: Pleasantly sweet and tart, this red apple is a juicy favorite. Keep in mind, however, it does not perform well when baked whole.
