I like Honeycrisp and Cortland.
I'm not crazy about Ohio apples. I grew up in New York and they have awesome apples. I miss them.

My favorite is Cortland. I have never baked them, but they are juicy.

Thank you. I like tart apples in baking. I usually just bake apples with a bit of seasoning and eat them with everything, yoghurt, etc.

I mix mine. Always some macs for the juiciness and mushiness, Wolf River or Spy for the tang and shape, Cortland, Rome, Jonathon, Jonagolds or golden Delicious for fillers. Ida Reds are a favorite. Not a fan of Honeycrisp and I dislike Red Delicious. I haven't cooked much with the newer ones - Pink Lady, etc.

We use Bramley apples all the time in the UK for cooking. Do you have these in America?

My favorite apple for baking is Jazz apples. They are super juicy and tastes great. They can be hard to find but if you see them in the store buy some and try them. If there is big regular price difference in apples, don't buy the cheapest type. I don't buy organic fruit if it can be peeled.

During Christmas I made an apple pie using Granny Smiths, or so I thought. The apple pieces were bland, mushy and didn't hold their shape...very disappointing. I had questioned the produce person in the market at the time I was buying the apples, telling him that they didn't look like the Granny Smiths that I knew. Although they were bright green, they had the 5 points on the bottom, like a Delicious. He assured me that they were, indeed Grannys, so I went ahead and bought them. That was a regret. I should have listened to my instincts.

Hahaha! I had never thought to mix apples on purpose. I like it because they all add something different. I am sure I have done it before when running short but on purpose to get the different tastes. Yum
