Britain's iconic cooking apple. Tart, acidic flesh that collapses when heated — essential for BBQ apple sauce and crumbles.
Flavour
Tart and acidic with a sharp, refreshing bite that softens into a mellow sweetness when cooked. The flesh breaks down easily, creating a smooth texture.
In the kitchen
Ideal for BBQ apple sauce and crumbles as it collapses beautifully when heated over fire. Perfect for slow roasting or smoking to enhance its natural tang.
Growing
Prefers well-drained soil and a sunny position. Vigorous grower with good disease resistance, though regular pruning helps maintain shape and airflow.
