West PA. I always used half Rome and half Macintosh. DW likes all Golden Delicious. We baked a pie yesterday and used half Golden Delicious and half of a mix of Candycrisp and Fuji, which a guest provided. Had it today for Thanksgiving and loved it. It's my opinion that the apples you used for today's apple pie make the best apple pie! It sure beats no apple pie. I always use the same amount of salted butter and flour for the crust. Just a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of water if necessary. Yesterdays took no water. Man is it flaky. To me unsalted butter tastes like wet dog hair. Yuk
