When I was growing up in south Jersey, we used to go picking apples and
other goodies at one of the local farms -- a place called Larchmont Farms,
if you've ever heard of it (I don't know if it still exists; last I heard,
they were bought out and the land was going to be turned into a housing
complex...sigh).  Anyhow, here goes some of my knowledge:

Good cooking apples are pungently flavored, somewhat tangy.  These
include the Stamen Winesap, Granny Smith, and Golden Delicious.  The
Red Delicious are better for eating than cooking, although they do
work acceptably.  Another type of apple you'll see alot in the fall
is Rome Beauty.  These are crummy for eating -- they're bland and
mealy -- but they keep well throughout the winter (store in a cool
place) and are fine for cooking.

Hope this helps.
