cooking apple
Pie filling variety
A cooking apple is a variety of apple grown specifically for cooking rather than eating raw.
These apples are typically more tart and firm than eating apples, holding their shape when baked and developing flavor when sweetened.
Common varieties include Bramley and Granny Smith.
The recipe calls for two pounds of cooking apples.
