Ballarat are amazing if you can find them - they're an old fashioned type and become really fluffy with a delicious tart flavor. Yum!

I use anything but for special things I like to use Peasgoodnonsuch. These are usually available from markets. They are a really nice fluffy cooking apple

I often use granny smith, but my favourites for all cooking are Braeburn. (Unfortunately at the moment quite expensive as in $3.95 a kg the other day compared to 95ckgfor royal galas.) The Braeburn have a lovely flavour not as tart or watery as a granny, but not as sweet as a gala. Also a didderent texture to a gal when cooked.
