I am trying to improve on a recipe I made for an apple cinnamon bread.( part of the update is adding vanilla pudding in place of vanilla extract for extra moistness ) but I would like to know what is considered the sweetest apples or at least a few choices. I of course know granny smith and golden delicious are out of the running

Why wouldn't you consider golden delicious a sweet apple? They're sooo sweet and tastey

this time of year, i would say jazz if you can get them. if not then gala.
in a month or so, honeycrisp will definitely be the sweetest apple you will ever taste.

I've always liked Pink Lady apples. They're very sweet more consistent than the others.

i'm going to suggest honeycrisp too. i save all my apple baking for when those are in season.
I know our grocery store LOVES sharing produce knowledge with people, including tasting and what not. see if they'll let you sample.
[edit] an afterthought, i think i would go the tasting route anyway, because from my experience, different batches always taste different and you'll find a batch that taste uncharacteristic for the type they are.

I get that at the local produce place I shop. I would NEVER get that kind of service at the grocery store, but this little mom and pop store is great about stuff like that. If you ask them what something is, they'll tell you and ask if you want to try it.
They also sell water coconuts. They'll take one in the back for you, hack off the top of the coconut, and bring it out with a straw so you can drink the coconut water while you shop.
It's a nifty little store and the prices, selection, and service are outstanding.

depends on the grocery store you shop at, and who is working. i work produce at Jewel...owned bu albertsons/supervalu. we are a mega chain of grocery stores. if you were to ask me or any of my co-workers if you can try an apple we would gladly cut it for you.
as long as what you are asking isnt ridiculous, we will usually help you. lots of people want their watermelons cut in half before they buy it, so the know how it looks. some of them want to taste it, so we slice a little bit off for them to try.
one of the good things about somebody wanting to try something like an apple is that we dont throw the rest away...we will cut it up and eat it.

Granny Smiths are the best for cooking IMO they are a sour apple if eaten raw but become heavenly sweeet when cooked.
Granny Smiths keep their texture when cooked and still have a bit of crunch which is why they are the superior cooker.

Anotherstormslayer brings up a good point. Not all apples that are good to eat raw make the best cooked apples.
The apple orchard here will be having their fall celebration soon and then we hope to get some honeycrisps as well. I love going there in the fall because you walk among the trees and they encourage you to pick an apple and taste it before deciding if you want more of that apple. You get to mix and match in your basket.
