The recipe calls for Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples. However, substitute if you like. One type should be a soft and easily cooked type of apple. The other and one a firmer type.

For example, in place of Golden Delicious, you can substitute Gravenstein or Bramley’s Seedling.

Good substitutes for Granny Smith, maybe Summer Rambo, Calville Blanc, or Goldrush apples.

I became familiar with these lesser-known apples from my husband. He is a cidermaker at a local cidery. Over 100 types of apples are grown there. Some are good for eating and some for baking. They press and make others into cider. The cidery processes fresh and hard cider and both are delicious!

In the fall, when the fruit is plentiful, our house is full of apples. We have discovered various ways to enjoy them.

For example:

• dried into apple rings
• as a complement to several meat dishes
• stuffed
• baked into a raw apple cake
• and of course fresh
