Apples differ widely in texture and flavor. A quick web search should provide
you with information on cooking apples as wells as eating apples. A good
all-purpose apple would be Northern Spy, for instance.
Avoid mealy, tasteless varieties like Red Delicious or those pretty yellow
and red varieties that are sort of tapered and picture perfect. Those
varieties were designed specifically with looks in mind and are usually too
sweet and mushy to be of any use except as an eye pleaser in a fruit basket.
What you are looking for is an apple with crisp flesh that has a somewhat
pineapple flavor with hints of raspberry and citrus half way between sweet
and sour. The manager at your green grocer should be able to point you to the
cooking varieties. If you go to Wegman's, you can, for the asking, taste test
any of the varieties they have free of charge to make sure you get the
correct one.
