Granny Smith apple is a firm, bright green apple with a pale, crisp interior. Its flavor is distinctly tart with bright acidity and a snappy crunch, and it holds its shape when baked. Cooks use it in pies, tarts, salads, slaws, chutneys, and pork dishes; it is sold whole and in pre-sliced packs.\n\nGrowers trace the variety to a chance seedling raised by Maria Ann Smith near Sydney, Australia in the late 1800s, and it spread through commercial orchards worldwide. It is now common in North American, European, and Southern Hemisphere production.
