Apple pie is definitely one of the most popular winter-time desserts. Combining apples, cinnamon, butter, and a delicious crust, this delicious creation is perfect for cold, gloomy days.

Making a great apple pie is half the apples you choose to make it with, so try to use these top-quality apple varieties if you want yours to turn out delicious.

Granny Smith

Do you like tart apples? If so, Granny Smiths are a great option for making an apple pie. They don’t fall apart when baked in the oven and they aren’t overwhelmingly sweet when combined with sugar and cinnamon, making them the perfect pick.

Golden Delicious

If you aren’t a fan of the tartness of the Granny Smiths, but you want your apple pie to have a little bit of character to combat the sweetness, Golden Delicious apples are a great choice. We especially love how cinnamon complements their mild sweetness.

Honeycrisp

Okay, let’s face it: some of us just love desserts that are as sweet as possible. Honeycrisp apples are on the sweeter side of apples that can be used to make apple pies, but they’re definitely a perfect option if that’s what you’re looking for.
