Apple FAQs
What are the best types of apples to cook or bake with?
If you’re baking with apples, choose firm apples that will hold their shape and aren’t too sweet, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Jonathan.
If you’re cooking with apples, to serve with roasted meats, choose firm red apples with mild sweetness. We love Pink Lady apples for this.
If you are drying your apples, choose a firm apple like Empire or Granny Smith.
What should I do with less-than-stellar apples?
If you end up with some apples that are a little mealy, too soft, or have some bruised spots, make applesauce. Since the apples cook down into a sauce, any mealy texture or softness won’t be noticeable. Do remove any bruised areas before cooking.
What’s the best way to store apples?
Store your apples in the refrigerator, wrapped in damp paper towel, or a plastic bag with holes in it. Remove any spoiled apples promptly, and keep your apples away from other fruits and vegetables as they will cause them to ripen faster.
