What Apples Work Best for Autumn Apple Cobbler?
For apple cobbler, you’ll want apples that hold their shape when baked and balance sweetness with tartness. Here are some of the best choices:
Top Picks for Cobbler
-
Granny Smith – firm, tart, and reliable for baking.
-
Honeycrisp – juicy with a sweet-tart balance.
-
Braeburn – crisp with a slightly spicy, complex flavor.
-
Jonagold – sweet with a touch of tang, great for mixing.
-
Pink Lady (Cripps Pink) – tart, firm, and slow to brown.
Best Combo Approach: Using a mix of tart (like Granny Smith) and sweet (like Honeycrisp or Jonagold) gives the cobbler a fuller flavor and keeps it from being overly sweet.
