What kind of apple is TT's consensus for type of apple for apple pie?

Posted by musubi Feb 23 '11, 13:53

Granny Smith?
Gala?
Red Delicious?

I feel like it's supposed to be Granny Smith, but I'm open to other suggestion.

Responses:

we like Spartan apples, but we usually make an apple cranberry pie so obviously the cranberries overpower the apple taste - J Feb 23, 14:00
It should be on the tart side. - psilotum Feb 23, 13:58
Uh... roundish. - Dr.Vermin Feb 23, 13:57
I'll use whatever I feel like at that moment - and I don't think I've ever had/made an apple pie that wasn't good, so I don't know how much difference - kelly Feb 23, 13:57 2
- sometimes the "eating" apples are too dry for pie. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:57 1
  - and some apples are way too mealy to eat raw. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:58

IIRC, my Joy of Cooking says Granny Smith, with a maybe on Pippin. There's a couple others... -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 13:55
i don't know/any. (note: due to allergies, I can only eat apples when cooked/baked, as in a pie.) - TFox Feb 23, 13:55 14
- That's bizarre. Why would that be? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:57 4
  - The more I tell people I have it, the more people I'm finding that also have it. My dentist is another one. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 13:58
  - If only we had a chemist here to explain how cooking changes molecular structure. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:58 2
    - or an allergist to explain what chemical it might be. - Reagen Feb 23, 13:59 1
      - honestly, they don't always know. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:00
- i have this allergy as well. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 13:57 8
  - there's another STer who has it too. they actually told me what it was called... and then I forgot. "auto" something. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 13:58 7
    - Laughing so much right now. Apparently it's called Oral Allergy Syndrome. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:59 6
      - you're a weird bird. (laughing why?) but yes, that appears to be exactly it. -- (link) - TFox Feb 23, 14:01 5
        
        I think I have this, actually. Didn't realize there was a name for it. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 14:03
        
        you have to admit it sound dirty. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:01
        
        laughing because you forgot Oral. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:01 2
        
        because you asked previously... - TFox Feb 23, 14:04 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:05
red delicious should be fertilized with Agent Orange. For pie, I like a mix of apples. I don't like all-Granny pies. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:54 1
- further: I find Grannys too waxy for pie. I like pie apples to be more meaty. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:55
I lean toward Granny Smith -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:54
