I love apple pies, but only if they are made from Granny Smith apples!
They are very tart. They originated in Australia in 1868.
I never understood what makes an apple tart, but they are great for baking!
It is named after Maria Ann Smith, She propagated them.
What did she do to Granny Smiths to make them have that unique taste?
She took a chance on a tiny seedling and cultivated them by complete chance.
I believe that is how most things are created.  I think either Post-Its or velcro was discovered by accident, too!
I think what I like about them is the light green skin and a crisp, juicy flesh.
