A cooking apple is an apple that is used primarily for cooking rather than eating fresh. Cooking apples are larger, and can be less sweet and more sour than eating varieties. Some varieties have a firm flesh that doesn't break down too much when cooked. Only the British grow a large range of apples specifically for cooking.
