Ryan: Granny Smith. I've always been an apple pie lover, so much that I would request them in lieu of a birthday cake as a child. More specifically, I love my grandmother's recipe that consisted of sharp, crisp Granny Smiths with a butter-laden crumble topping.
Amanda Li: Mutsu!
Marian: Honeycrisp!
Stephanie: Honeycrisp!
Christina: Fuji.
Maddy: Gold Rush!
Peter: Ambrosia is a newfound favorite but an accessible mainstay is a thick slice of Granny Smith with a heavy-handed schmear of Prince La Fontaine or Pierre Robert (what can I say? I'm a sucker for a bloomy triple crème).
Molly: Cortland!
Nozlee: (Whispered) Golden Delicious.
