eating apples

Munching crisp produce

Eating apples are apple varieties meant to be eaten raw rather than cooked.

They're typically sweeter and crisper than cooking apples, which tend toward tartness and break down with heat.

Honeycrisp and Gala are popular eating apples.

The distinction matters most to orchardists and bakers—most people just grab whatever looks good.
