    I use whatever apples I have before they go bad, but Jonathan and McIntosh are great. But I have used Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith and those all have worked well. I would probably not use Red or Golden Delicious, don’t think they would hold up.

  5. I was wondering of flour measurement, it’s mentioned 1 cup = 125g… but the measure cups for 1 cup is 250g.. can you clarify. Specially it’s mentioned 3/4 cup = 150 g … how come 3/4 cup is more in grams than the 1 cup.
    Regards,

      Hi,
      First, remember that the measurements are in american cups.
      Second, each ingredient has a different volume. for example: 1 cup of sugar=200g and 1 cup of flour=125. while liquids are 240ml per cup.
      Anyway, I would always recommend using kitchen scale when baking.
