Northern Spy: Large fruit; crisp and sweet/tart taste. Great for baking, eating or sauce. Holds its shape well so renowned for pies.

Ok, everyone, hope this helps. I notice that Granny Smiths are not on the list... but they keep their shape well in baking and stay fairly firm when cooked into a butter.
Perhaps someone could add this info to the archives so I don't have to type it out again???
Happy Buttering/Saucing/Baking!!!
Winesap: crisp and very tart; extremely versatile and great for pies, sauces and cider.
