Pink LadyAll-rounder: sweet-tart, good raw and stays firm baked.
HoneycrispRaw snacking and salads: very crisp and sweet; softens if baked long.
Gala / FujiSnacking 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.
