How to Pick the Right Apples
I say apples as if it’s easy and there is only one kind of apple out there. There are SO many different apple varieties and they all taste a little bit different. Or a lot different when it comes to green and red apples. Here are a few helpful tips to picking out the right apples for all of these autumn apple recipes.
Firm: The very first thing that you want to check when picking out an apple is, how firm is it? You want the apple to not be soft, mushy or easily indent. This will result in a grainy texture and not great flavor.
Apple Varieties: Golden Delicious apples are great for baking, Granny Smith are a bit more tart and often used in recipes that call for sugar. Honeycrips, Pink Lady and Piñata apples can be eaten fresh on their own or they also taste fantastic in aany baked goods (especially the ones found in these autumn apple recipes)!
Color: The more color the better! Apples who have seen a lot of sunlight will have alot more vibrant and deep colors than apples that haven’t. These apples have more flavor, are fresh and are usually perfectly ripe and crisp.
