A baking apple is one that holds its
shape well and has a good balance of acid and sugar. Your favorite baking apples
will likely be different from the ones you enjoy raw as a snack; they're
generally more tart and less sweet. A low-acid, high-sugar variety, like Gala,
is great fresh but becomes quite bland when baked. Rome Beauty, on the other
hand, develops a more pronounced flavor when cooked.
These varieties are considered good for baking:
Baldwin
Cortland
Golden Delicious
Gravenstein
Idared
Jonagold
Mutsu (also called Crispin)
Newtown Pippin
Northern Spy
Rhode Island Greening
Rome Beauty
