Nope. Macs are the only thing I will use. My wife tried to tell me the same thing.....until she tasted my apple pie.

And granny smith are the worst apples. Way, way too bitter. Won't even eat them plain.

I guess you prove the point that taste is subjective. IMO the red delicious shouldn't even be called an apple. As for the Granny Smith I've never heard it described as "bitter". Tart or even sour but never bitter.

On a whim I looked up a dozen or so apple pie recipes. The Granny Smith is the overwhelming favorite as the apple of choice. Rachel Ray was the only one to use Macs in her pie and Lagasse used a mix of Granny Smith and Macs.

I would put my own crisp, tasty apple pie recipe up against a flabby, mush Mac pie any day.

Tart, sour, bitter, pretty much the same to me.

Sounds like a challenge to me. ;)

If yor Mac pies are mushy that is that fault of the baker.
