From apple pies to tarts, quesadillas, and even apple spice cakes, there is an enormous array of tasty dishes that you can bake using apples. Still, not all apples boast the same taste. Here are the best types of apples you can buy for creating some ingenious baking creations.

Baldwin Apples

Hailing from the New England region of the northwestern United States, these apples boast a sweet, tart-like flavor, making them the ideal core ingredient in any apple tart. They are also ideal anytime you’re looking to add a crispy texture to your dish.

Honeycrisp

Softer and sweeter than most typical apples used for baking, the Honeycrisp is a stellar choice for sweeter desserts such as cakes, pies, and even for adding to ice creams.

Jonagold Apples

Intriguingly, these apples are a hybrid between Golden Delicious and Jonathan varieties. This blend makes the Jonagold apples perfectly balanced for almost any recipe, both sweet and savory.
