Rome and Winesaps are best in my pies.  Opinions vary, choose your flavor.

     Red-Delicious (aren't they) apples are sweet eating, right off the tree.
The rest are not commonly used by me, so I don't know.  Rome apples make deli-
cious (no pun) apple dumplings.  Recipes abound in good cookbooks everywhere.
