What brand of apple do people use for stewing, crumbles and so on?
In Ireland you could buy a cooking apple brand that was very very tart. I'm thinking Granny Smith but just wondering what others use. |

I prefer Granny Smiths for cooking, but in all honestly, I'll use any that have begun to turn.

I actually just use any apples we have, with sugar and cinnamon it all comes out the same ..  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

That's true I guess.
I made the mistake of actually following the measurements in a recipe last weekend. My result was icky sticky super sweet. I'll just have to do take 2 with more vague measurements I think

braeburns cook really well if you are after a sweeter apple than the trusty granny smiths. You won't have to add any sugar to a crumble if you use them either. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I use granny smiths for all baking... in the UK there is a way better selection of cooking apples :( Granny Smiths hold their shape well which is often useful!
I also eat granny smiths raw instead of other apples - can't stand sweet ones but this is probably cos I grew up eating the cooking apples off the tree in my Grandma's garden :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I always wondered what apples were used in NZ for cooking, I always used the 'cooking apples' in Ireland so would have no clue! Thanks for this  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
