When I was young, our family used to go apple picking and fill up bags with crisp apples. Now that we are in the California Bay Area, there isn’t a nearby place to go apple picking. We rely on one of our favorite local farmers’ market vendors to keep our fruit basket full!

What Are The Best Apples for Baking?
There are many great apple varieties that work well in baking, like the Gravenstein apples pictured above. I tend to use tart apples in my gluten free baking since the tartness holds up to the sweetness of what I am baking. Tart varieties also hold their shapes better after baking. Here are a few more apple varieties I like to bake with:
- Gravenstein
- Granny Smith
- Fuji
- Pink Lady
