My favourite type of apple is granny smith.  What about you?
I like to cook with granny smith apples for my apple pie, which is one of the most popular uses of the granny smith apple
It is indeed but I love to eat them raw too.  They originated in Australia in 1868 and were named after the person who cultivated them Maria Ann Smith. She had lots of children and later grandchildren and was nicknamed Granny Smith in her later years.
There is a festival in Australia that honors Granny Smith, and it attracts over 80000 people a year.
Wow I didnt know that. Aparently there is also a company Woodchuck Hard Cider who makes cider using the granny smith apples.  I must look out for it, i would love to try it.
I've tried the Woodchuck Cider before.  It was the top selling cider brand in 2011.
Really? I am surprised I havnt seen it before.  Do you cook any other dishes using Granny Smith apples?
I make applesauce from them, too.  Be on the lookout for Strongbow Cider, too.  It is the world's leading brand.
