Granny Smith apples are famous for their distinctive green color and tart, crisp flavor. Their zesty, tangy flavor sets them apart from sweeter apple varieties. The acidity in Granny Smith apples makes them a favorite for baking, as they can pair well with sugar and spices in pies, crisps, and tarts. They're also a popular choice for making applesauce.
In addition to baking, these apples can be sliced and added to salads for a burst of tart flavor or enjoyed as a crisp, healthy snack.
