i use Fuji apples for everything, by far the most well rounded apple.

with all the other sweetness going on in the pie, granny smith is perfect. The crunch is a nice texture too compared to most other apples which make gummy pie

For my no sugar added apple pie I use slices of Granny Smith layered with fine diced Golden Delicious apples dusted with a bit of cornstarch and cinnamon. The Goldens form a sweet glaze around the firm more tart slices as it bakes. .

One that I have enjoyed for applesauce is the Gravenstein, but that has been extremely hard to find for a long time. I understand that they are difficult to grow, owing to poor disease resistance.

I was not surprised, but still disappointed, that this did not mention the Northern Spy apple. It’s lamentably rare in markets, but is a superb pie apple, and also excellent for eating out of hand.
