What kind of apple should I use?
When choosing an apple for a cobbler or pie, you should pay attention to the recipe. A good recipe will tell you what kind of apple to buy. There are hundreds and hundreds of varieties of apples so you don’t have to have an exact match, but if you understand a little bit about the variety it calls for, then you’ll be able to get a good match. This recipe calls for Granny Smith apples, which are a green, tart apple. A tart apple balances out the sweetness in the recipe. Granny Smith apples also bake really well and don’t release too many liquids or become mushy when baked.
