Picked up a bag of Gala apples at the grocery store today. My neighbor told me only Cortland's are good for baking pies/cakes. Any ideas for using up those apples?

I love gala apples.
Eat them or make chunky applesauce. They will be fine for baking.

To tell you the truth , I use whatever apples I have on hand for baking. I just adjust the sugar if the apples are sweet or tart. I've never had a problem.

I use Gala apples in all of my recipes. They are good for making pies, I mix them with Granny Smith and my pies are wonderful.
you can make fruit salad, apple sauce.... whatever. They are a good all ourpose apple. And they are good to snack on.....yummy!

Some apples, like Red Delicious, fall apart and turn to mush when baked. I don't know how Gala apples bake but a simple Google search will tell you. You neighbor doesn't know anything about apples. I always bake with Granny Smith.

Me too! That's why I bought them instead of cortlands. But, it's only me and my furbaby and although he loves apples, can only eat so much. I'm allergic to fruit and break out with a gross-looking rash so must limit my intake. Thanls for the applesauce suggestiob!

I've never heard of cortlant apples. I wonder if its a regional thing?

I just used gala apples to make applesauce. We had company and everybody asked for the recipe. It was delicious!

The only apple I don't use is Red Delicious. It seems to fall apart when I use it to make something with. And I really feel the same way when I just try to eat it.

They're crisp and have a wonderful flavor!
