    apple

    A fruit grown throughout the world in temperate climates for at least 3,000 years, there are now thousands of varieties from yellow to green to red, tender to crisp, sweet to tart and simple to complex. The apple tree and pear tree are related to each other--They are both part of the rose family. "Baking" apples are varieties that hold up well when cooked and don't turn mushy. Good baking apples are:
    Rome Beauty (Queen of the bakers because cooking accentuates its flavor)
    Golden Delicioius (holds it's shape well, unlike Red Delicious which should not be used for baking)
    Granny Smith (tart and tangy)
