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.
