Granny Smith Apple Recipes

Granny Smith apples are crisp, juicy, and boldly tart, making them one of the most versatile apples for cooking and baking. Their bright acidity balances sweet ingredients and adds freshness to both desserts and savory dishes. Because they hold their shape well when heated, Granny Smith apples are a favorite for apple pie, crisps, tarts, galettes, muffins, and baked apples. They also work beautifully raw in slaws, grain bowls, green salads, and cheese boards. Use Granny Smith apples when a recipe needs a firm texture and a tangy bite. They pair especially well with warm spices, caramel, pork, chicken, cheddar, nuts, and hearty greens.
