I bought Granny Smith apples yesterday and will make up a batch tomorrow. I do know that they use fresh apples, not canned, and I think they are likely Granny Smith as some of the (green) peel was left on them. Plus, the apple pieces were not uniformly cut. Hopefully, they will be a good facsimile. I can't post a picture of the ones the cafe makes as I have eaten the ones I purchased last time I was there. If I'm happy with these, I'll post a picture.
