Granny Smith is good for baking because it tends to retain more of its crispiness through the baking process, plus the sour taste compliments the sweetness of whatever recipe its in (since it usually calls for sugar)
This is true, best apple pie is a granny smith pie. The best to eat is a honeycrisp apple. If you haven't had one, you should buy one if you can find them. They are way more expensive but worth every cent.
