Questions about Golden Delicious apple
How do you choose a ripe Golden Delicious apple?
Look for firm, smooth skin and an apple that feels heavy for its size. A few small russeted patches are common and do not necessarily mean it is past its best.
Is Golden Delicious good for baking?
Yes, its sweet flavour works well in pies and crumbles, though the flesh softens as it cooks. For a pie with distinct slices, cut the apples thickly and bake at 180 °C until tender, usually around 40–50 minutes.
How do you stop a cut Golden Delicious apple turning brown?
Toss the slices with a little lemon juice as soon as you cut them. If you are packing them for later, keep them in a sealed container in the fridge.
How should you store Golden Delicious apples?
Keep them in the fridge’s fruit drawer, where they stay crisp longer than at room temperature. Separate bruised or damaged apples from the rest, as they spoil sooner.
What goes well with Golden Delicious apple?
Its mild sweetness and crisp bite work in a Waldorf salad with celery and walnuts, or alongside mature cheese. It also pairs well with pork in savoury dishes.
Can you use Golden Delicious instead of Granny Smith in a recipe?
Usually, yes, but the result will be sweeter and less tart. Add a little lemon juice if the recipe relies on Granny Smith’s sharpness, such as a pie or chutney.
How does Golden Delicious compare with Granny Smith for fibre?
Granny Smith has slightly more fibre: 2.8 g per 100 g, compared with 2.4 g in Golden Delicious.
