10 wonderful ways with Bramley apples

The first Bramley tree was planted in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, by Mary Ann Brailsford back in 1809. Astonishingly, that original tree continues to produce fruit to this day. The Bramley growing industry is now worth £50 million a year to British apple farmers.  

Bramleys make such good cooking apples because they contain considerably less dry matter than regular eating apples. That’s what gives them that wondrously fluffy texture once cooked.

For some Bramley inspiration why not try one of these recipes:
