Gala. Gala apples have a moderate taste and crisp, orange-yellow peel with scarlet striations. They are among the best apples for making cider, eating raw, making applesauce, and adding to salads.
Pick Gala apples for your pie if you want more sweetness without the soft texture. Due to the extra-sweet flavor of this species, bakers occasionally lower the sugar in their recipes, similar to how they do with Golden Delicious apples.
