[color:"blue"]NOTE:[/color]
you can use any "tart" apple...
I like Granny Smith's because the hold up well to cooking without getting "mushy"...
MacIntosh work well too, but not as well as GS's... Macs can get "mushy" after cooking...
You can cook GS's til browned and carmalized & still retain some "crispieness" for texture in the dish...
You don't want to make applesause out of them...
