top apples for apple pie
These apples are widely considered top choices for pie because they stay firm in the oven and bring a good sweet-tart balance.
Granny Smith ~ tart, firm, keeps structure.
Honeycrisp ~ sweet-tart balance, juicy but holds shape.
Braeburn ~ crisp texture, complex flavor.
Jonagold ~ sweet with a touch of tartness, bakes well.
Northern Spy ~ classic pie apple, firm and flavorful.
Golden Delicious ~ mild sweetness, blends well with tarter apples.
Bakers often mix:
- Granny Smith
- Honeycrisp
That combo alone covers all the bases. Braeburn (or Northern Spy, if you can find it) adds extra depth but isn’t as easy to source everywhere.
