When you survey the apple section at your local grocery store or farmer's market, you'll be met with a lot of options. While apples are available throughout the year at most grocery stores, they are at their best when they're in season; late summer through late fall/early winter. Here are some of the most popular types of apple:
|
Red Delicious - Dark red, mild, sweet
McIntosh - Crisp, bright red with a green tint, juicy and sweet/tart
Golden Delicious - Yellow with a pink blush, large, sweet
Winesap - Red stripe over yellow, crisp and juicy.
The apples on this short list are all good eating apples. You can snack on them just as they are, but some are also great for recipes.
Try this quick apple tart when you crave the home-baked aroma wafting through your house, but don't want to spend a ton of time tackling a complicated feat of baking. The Golden Delicious apples used in this recipe add a natural sweetness, so you don't need to use much sugar.
