A cooking apple is an apple that is used primarily for cooking rather than eating fresh. They are generally a lot less sweet and a lot more sour than eating varieties, and have a firm flesh that doesn't break down too much when cooked.
Apples can be baked in an oven and served with custard or put into an apple pie or apple crumble . In the UK apples are boiled and mashed and served as apple sauce with roast pork.
