My sixth grade science fair project was testing apples for apple crisp. The winner? Pink lady! Edit: on a more serious note as a seasoned baker: for the typical person who makes maybe one pie a year if that, blind baking your bottom crust and making sure your top crust has adequate ventilation will do more to impact the flavor of your pie than finding the perfect apples. (If you don’t vent the crust, they will steam and get mushy; if you don’t blind bake the bottom, it will be soggy.) Fussing over apple varieties when your crust is underbaked is like spending weeks picking the perfect JS framework for a side project.
