Choosing the Right Apples for Harvest Apple Feta Pizza

Best Varieties for this Recipe

Choose crisp, tart apples such as Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith. They balance beautifully with creamy feta and caramelized onions.

Buying Tips

Pick apples that are firm with smooth skin—avoid bruising or overly soft spots. Fresh, young apples have more crunch and natural sweetness for roasting.

Substitutions

Use pear slices for a slightly milder, buttery sweetness or goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier tang.
