Doesn't really matter unless it matters to you. It is more about the texture. Use a mushy apply wind up with a mess that is hard to form. Use an apple that is too hard, the stuff won't hold together either.

I'll be honest, I just use firm, red apples out of the cheap bag. It is how I use apples that don't have the best taste for fresh eating in my opinion.

I use a variety of apples to make my applesauce, hence the reason I'm asking.

Those are usually red delicious I think which would make them on the sweet side
