Answers:
I tried every kind!. I found that one kind works best for cooking!. In the mean time, Rachael Ray, the TV cook, is from up-state New York!. Rachael grew up in the heart of apple country!. She confirms what I had already discovered, Mackintosh works best for all types of cooking, including making pies and deserts!. i make a delicious turkey stuffing at Thanksgiving, I tried the apples suggested in the recipe, granny smith, then I saw Rachael's show and she made the statement I mentioned above!. I switched over to Mackintosh, that apple flavor stood up to the roasted turkey and had the most flavor in the end!. also, I tried it in my apple pies, the best!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Granny Smiths make a great pie!.!.!. not too sweet, kind of tart!. You could mix them with a sweeter apple like Fuji, Rome Beauty or Empire!. Stay away from Cortland apples, they tend to get real mushy!. Try adding a bit of nutmeg!. They also make an Apple Pie spice that has a mixture of all the good pie spices!.

Granny Smith, each and every time!. This way you get a great mix of tart and sweet and that is what really makes an apple pie!. If you're looking for different taste, instead of serving with ice cream or whipped cream, try a piece of cheddar cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Golden Delicious, with some Cinnamon, a touch of nutmeg, a pinch of clove!. It is a combination the taste buds, your friends and you will be amazed, and even a pinch of pumpkin spice if you are inclined!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fresh apples, any color will work!. It's really personal preference!. The green ones (Granny smith) people think taste better than red, but personally I can't tell the difference!. As for the second question, you could use ground cocoa!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The most acid apples you can find!.
In Holland we use Goudreinetten!. Not to be had in other countries!. Even hard to find in Holland, but I got a 50 year old tree in my garden!.
