But if that’s all you have in your grocery store, pair them with a granny smith apple. Golden Delicious: People love to hate on golden delicious apples because they’re sort of basic.They have a cider-like quality to them when cooked. Northern Spy: This type of apple grows in the Northeast of the United States and may be difficult to find in the midwest and on the west coast, but if you do have Northern Spy apples around, use them.Granny smith is great to pair with a sweeter more mild apple. Granny Smith: This variety is incredibly tart so definitely use it with that in mind.I don’t always do this but honey crisp apples are delicious and if you’re going to go with a very simple, one varietal type of pie, I say you can’t lose with honey crisp.

Honey Crisp: The pie pictured uses ALL honey crisp apples.But here are my favorites for pie that will keep their integrity/shape even when baked for an hour: This is not an attack on any apple varietal what-so-ever. Others are best for cooking on the stove-top for hours and hours that will give you the most delicious apple sauce. There are apples that are AWFUL and GREAT for apple pie. This is of course an updated blog post I wrote a post all this recipe years ago and it was made over and over and I have some new thoughts on execution. It’s the apple pie version of the perfect white t-shirt we spend years searching for. This pie is simple, classic the ideal apple pie. This pie crust is flakey, butter, perfection. Honey crisp and braeburn apples are combined with flour, sugar and spices. This Homemade Apple Pie is a fall classic.
