Pretty much any apple will work in this recipe. The best apples for baking are Pink Lady apples. They're a little sweet and a little tart so I find them perfect in baking recipes! Braeburn or Honeycrisp are also delicious and hold up well. Really - any apple will work in this recipe! We don't recommend using Granny Smith or other tart apples in this recipe.
