It’s apple season and there are more than fifteen varieties of apples to choose from for your eating, cooking, drinking, and craft needs. What’s the best apple for eating, bobbing, or pie-making? This flowchart can help you pick the right kind.
Apples are the second-most popular fruit in the US, according to Tony Tantillo, “the fresh grocer.” And no wonder, since the apple is very versatile. If you never knew the difference between a Gala and a Snow apple (both are good for bobbing, but the Snow is smaller) or which type is best for cider (McIntosh), consult this flowchart. Slate developed it after consultation with Andrew Mikolajaski, author of The Illustrated World Encyclopedia of Apples.
Except for the iPhone and Biden mentions, the chart can come in handy. Click to expand:
