Learning how to cook apples is not as simple as coming across good apple recipes. A cook needs to know the different types of apples. For years eating apples had to be crisp, fresh and juicy and cooking apples and baking apples had to cook up like “mush”. I agree with the eating apples but I do not like my cooked apples to be mush. Of course, this is a matter of personal preference.

The best apple pie recipes that I have ever eaten were made with McIntosh apples which are recommended for eating not cooking. When these pies were served, the apples were tender but held their shape. The flavor was wonderful and I enjoyed knowing that the pies were made with apples and not applesauce.

Mentioning applesauce, I even like chunkier applesauce recipes. Like I said, this is personal preference, but again when I eat applesauce or cooked apples I do not want mush. The Granny Smith apples have long been recommended as a great cooking apple. Recently I baked some of these and they quickly cooked up to thinner than mush.

I have found the recommended cooking apples and baking apples to be very good and flavorful in apple butter recipes where you want them to cook down into a spread. These are also very flavorful and add moisture to cake recipes, cookie recipes and sweet breads.

What I am saying is do not limit yourself when you learn how to cook apples. Try all the apples at hand in different ways; you might stumble onto something new and pleasing to your palate.
