I'm reading a cookbook featuring fruits. One of the recipes is very interesting - leek, cheese and granny smith apple risotto. I never thought that leek, cheese and granny smith apple would go well with rice. I tried to cook it yesterday, but I couldn't find any granny smith apple. I'm going to try out with red to see if it works.

You didn't really try to cook it. You didn't get that far. You weren't able to get all the ingredients together.

There must be something about Granny Smith apples that is the reason somebody chose them for this recipe. (I don't know what that "something" is.)

In BrE, "leek" is fine in a recipe or the title of a dish. In the book, I'd expect it to be written as "Leek, Cheese and Granny Smith Apple Risotto". The plural would be used in the list of ingredients if it requires more than one leek.
Note that "Granny Smith" must always be capitalised. It's the official name of the variety.

I'm sure it's the same in American English. The words 'leek' and 'apple' have to be singular in the name of the recipe because they're uncountable.
