We like to use Honeycrisp apples for any apple recipe. The bite of the tart apples pair really well with the sweet filling and makes for a great flavor. They are also firm enough to hold up to baking. They’ll bake up nice and tender, but not get overly mushy. Other great options are: Granny Smith apples, Fuji, Braeburn and/or Pink Lady apples. You could also use a mix of a couple different types of apples to give the pastries even more depth of flavor.
