You had me at easy! LOL
I like easy, too, so I usually make an apple crisp. I have an apple peeler/corer/slicer that makes getting those apples ready very easy (especially when I put my husband on that job).
I think that recipe would be good with Granny Smith apples (my favorite, because they're a bit on the tart side).
You can never go wrong with easy, so why not, right? Granny Smith apples in my country are a bit expensive, but there are other good types. However, Granny Smith apples are perfect!
