Types of apples in apple pies

Always a mix of firm and soft, tart and sweet. But never Delicious or Golden Delicious - the former is odious, the latter bland. If I Macouns or Northern Spies are available, I’d choose them. Otherwise, something like Grannies and Macintosh, or Cortland and Empire. Varieties available vary so much from area to area and the point in the season that it’s impossible to come up with a suggestion everyone agrees on and can use.
