Granny Smith and Romes work well together.

Love Grannie Smith and Cortlands, do not slice my apples but make them into chunks. More apple taste (maybe just the mind playing tricks) and easier and faster to cut up.

I too swear by McIntosh apples....I also use only Macs when I make homemade applesauce to go with pork, chops or roast.

I haven't made a pie in years, but my youngest son makes apple pies. His are special as he piles the apples so deep it looks almost like a volcano and what a neat presentation and delicious too!!

Ditto for me. I found that the best apple pie I made had Granny Smith, Cortland, and Pink Lady apples in it.

Being Australian - Granny Smith are the best! They originally came from Sydney, Australia.

I use McIntosh, Jonathan, or any kind that cooks up like sauce since I don't like slices. Like them a little tart so never use more than 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar. Add a teaspoon of vanilla sprinkled over top of apples to really bring out the flavor.
