What are the best apples for this apple slaw recipe?

When making this apple slaw, I like to use a sweet apple. I use honeycrisp because it gives a nice sweet with tart taste. However, you can use any type of apple that you enjoy. This recipe tastes best with sweet apples but it is a nice change to make this with a tart apple too.

Pair this apple slaw with easy dinners. The apple slaw goes great with Easy Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken Cups or Easy 4-Ingredient BBQ Ranch Baked Chicken. Of course, as the holiday season starts, the cranberry apple slaw is great with turkey. It makes a nice addition to leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas.
