Johnagolds are good for pie also. I like using a mix of Golden Delicious and something else if I can. Macintosh cook down too much for a good pie, but mix them with something firmer and you get deliciousness.

Thanks, Debby! I meant to take a picture of the apples, too. They are about golf ball size, but so good. I'm not sure what kind they are.

Sometimes apples like that have the best flavor. I've bought the big, picture perfect apples in the past that had zero flavor.

My oven is a Kenmore and has convection, recipe memory, timed bake, and a whole lot of other stuff that I never learned to use. It is a gas oven with an electric element for keeping the temperature more even. It bakes wonderfully.

If they are a sweet apple, try dehydrating them for delicious apple chips.

Mine is a Frigidaire with normal bake, convection and vari-broil. It has the ability to set a timer or for a timed bake.

I have not seen courtland apples in the store here. We do have honeycrisp.

When we lived in Corning, California we had a Jonathan apple tree and it was a very good general use apple.

I have always liked pippin apples for pies but Martinelli takes 90% of the crop each year for making Apple Cider so we rarely find it. I hope that there will be some at Apple Hill though!

Oh, that's a great idea. I just snagged a dehydrator my brother was going to throw away. Do they keep quite a while?

Golden Delicious are an excellent pie apple. I have come to prefer Honeycrisp for my pies.

I like granny smith and throw in a couple macintosh for sweetness

That's really disappointing, isn't it?

I've got a golden delicious apple tree that produces pretty sizable fruits.
