Granny Smith Apple

My favorite apple is the Granny Smith, so I figured I would give you some information on them. They originated in Australia in 1868, and were not introduced to the United States until 1972. They are a light green color and are crisp, juicy and tart. They are popular to cook with, but I just prefer eating them out of my hand.
Granny Smith apples are used in some salads as opposed to other types of apples because they do not brown as quickly and have a harder texture than other green apples.

Granny Smith apples are my favorite because they are sour and crispy. They are not soft like other types of apples and have a nice bite to them. If there are Granny Smith apples in the house, I will definately eat much healthier!
