The Cool Mom Eats Guide to Apples: Best apples for cooking, baking, and more.

Cool Mom Eats Apple Guide: The best apples for baking and cooking.

It's time for that annual apple-picking trip to the orchard. So fun, until you realize that it's also time for bags and bags of apples to take up all the room in your fridge—and on the counter, too, because other things have to fit in the fridge as well—because you have no idea what to do with them all. Well, not anymore. This year, we've put together a guide to apples to help you quickly and easily reference which apples are good for what. And then, we've got apple recipes. Lots of them. Because, of course. So pick those apples with abandon or, if you already have, get cooking before they go bad. Either way, we've got you covered.
