Apple Types

There’s no doubt that apples are good for you. A single apple has all of 70 calories but contains over 3 grams of fiber. Sweet and satisfying, snacking on apples is the perfect way to get healthy.

There are dozens of apple choices in the markets today. Alongside the traditional delicious and Granny Smiths more and more heirloom varieties are available. Below are some of the apples that I use in recipes on the Dr. Gourmet web site. Because of their ready availability I have generally used more common varieties because I know that most readers will be able to easily find them in the grocery.

For baking I love to use Granny Smith apples. The apple is firm enough to hold up to heat and when cooked there’s a subtle sweetness that combines with a tartness that comes through in baked goods. Likewise, using a Granny Smith alongside a sweeter apple in salads is fantastic. The combination of a sweeter Red Delicious apple with the tart Granny Smith for Waldorf Salad is a great example.

The texture of Rome apples makes them a great choice for cooking but they have a creamier sweetness and lack the tartness of the Granny Smith.

Red Delicious apples don’t hold up as well to cooking. I love the crunchy texture and sweetness for snacking and for salads, however. The same holds true for Gala and Jonagold apples. They’re not as good a choice for baking but great for snacking.

Golden Delicious makes for a good all purpose apple to have on hand. They are great for snacking but do hold up well to baking. Interestingly, the flesh of the Golden Delicious will not oxidize as fast and remains white longer than other varieties in recipes such as salads.
