Apple varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common apple varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Granny Smith	Pies, crumbles, baking: tart and holds its shape.
Bramley	Apple sauce and purees: a UK cooking apple that breaks down to a fluffy puree.
Pink Lady	All-rounder: sweet-tart, good raw and stays firm baked.
Honeycrisp	Raw snacking and salads: very crisp and sweet; softens if baked long.
Gala / Fuji	Snacking and juicing: sweet and mild; turns soft in the oven.

Which should I pick?

For pies and crumbles, Granny Smith or Bramley hold their shape and balance the sugar with tartness. No Bramley? Braeburn or Pink Lady bake well too. For raw snacking or salads, reach for Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Gala. Pink Lady straddles both jobs, so it is the safe single buy when you want one apple for baking and the lunchbox alike.
