A delicious, filling, fruit pudding that the whole family will enjoy. The most popular apple variety used for cooking in Britain is the Bramley, which is juicy, firm and creamy and has a lovely sharp flavour. However, any firm variety of cooking apple can equally be used for this recipe. The Bramley variety was first introduced by Mary Ann Brailsford from Southwell in Nottinghamshire. She planted an apple pip in the garden of her cottage as a young girl in 1809, which grew into a large tree that still stands to this day. The cottage was sold to Matthew Bramley, a local butcher, in 1846. The local people loved the apples so much he eventually agreed to the sale of cuttings from the tree to a local nurseryman, who then named the variety after him. Ingredients
