We have started our early season picking of Bramley apples. England is the only country where a major distinction is made between cooking and dessert apples, but these days only one variety remains to maintain the tradition of English cooking apples - the famous Bramley apple. The Bramley apple was raised by Mary Ann Brailsford of Southwell, Nottinghamshire, UK, it is believed the first tree was planted between 1809 and 1813, and amazingly the original tree still bears fruit today.Bramley is the cook’s favourite as it has a unique ability to retain its strong apple flavour during cooking and when cooked, the texture becomes moist, wonderfully light and airy but with individual cells preserved to provide a superb crunch.
