What Apples are Best for this Recipe?

We love to use the green Granny Smith apples for this recipe. Granny Apples are a tangy and less sweet apple that goes perfectly in this recipe.

Where to Find the Best Apples?

You can find fresh apples at your local farmer’s market. Ask if the apples have been organically grown before purchase. Always wash apples thoroughly before eating or using in a recipe.
