Best Cooking Apples
- The best apples for cooking are Granny Smith, Braeburn, Idared (all-purpose), Golden Delicious.
- Jonagold (saute in butter), Paula Red (for apple sauce) McIntosh (for apple sauce)
What about Gala Apple?
While Galas can be cooked, they become milder in flavour when cooked so are better paired with apples such as granny smith, to enhance flavour.

I actually wondered this recently. Thanks!
I’m guessing what you call a Gala is what we call a Royal Gala. I like the taste of them for just polishing on my shirt and then biting in for a nice crisp snack.
The original Gala Apple gave rise to many gala apple varieties. Examples of varieties selected from original Gala are: the popular Royal Gala, Big Red Gala, Gala Gala, Banning Gala, Smith Gala, Waliser Gala, Burkitt Gala…it’s a long list of apples. My favourite is Royal Gala.
