Best Apples for Pie

RE: Best Apples for Pie By Teddycat (1) Profile Contact Generations of my family have used only Courtland apples. They are sweet/tart and have a bit softer flesh that bakes incredibly well.

Contact Whichever you use, if you feel they are going to be juicier than you want, mix a tablespoon or two of cornstarch with some of your sugar, and toss with the apple slices. Thickens the juices a bit. Posted on 10/21/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Best Apples for Pie By peggyseitz (11) Profile Contact Here in NY State I like to use empire apples. The Northern Spies are a great apple also. Even here with a long apple season they are only out for about 2 weeks. One tip is to not use juicier apples (sweeter). The sweeter the apple the wetter the pie.

I found just a few at the grocery store, and I bought a half a peck. They aren't the prettiest apples with the whitish haze on them, but, they are considered the best for baking with it, at least in my area. I've only seen Spys and Honey Crisp apples at the end towards the apple season. Posted on 10/21/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Best Apples for Pie By MCW (1013) Profile Blog! Contact The large green baking apples make delicious apple pies. They are a bitter tasting apple but when you use them in a pie they are delicious! Posted on 10/20/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
