Bramley apples have a particularly high level of malic acid, which means that, although they taste rather tart when eaten raw, when cooked their natural tang and sweetness shine through, making them the perfect filling for your favourite desserts - such as apple pies and crumbles.
Not only do Bramley apples contribute towards the 5-a-day fruit and vegetable target, but they are bursting with fibre and vitamin C. Fibre is needed to keep the body in harmony and vitamin C is fantastic for the skin and helps the immune system keep colds at bay.

Apples originated in the Middle East more than 4000 years ago; fruit and vines have been grown in the UK since the Roman occupation, with specially cultivated apple varieties spreading across Europe to France, arriving in England at around the time of the Norman conquest in 1066.
The demise of rural areas and apple growing, commencing in the 13th century with the Black Death, the War of the Roses and repeated droughts, was reversed by Henry VIII who instructed his fruiterer, Richard Harris, to establish the first large scale orchards at Teynham, Kent, scouring the known world for the best varieties.
The relative proportions will be dependant on the apple cultivar, the cultural conditions under which it was grown, the state of maturity of fruit at the time of pressing, the extent of physical and biological damage (eg mould rots), and, to a lesser extent, the efficiency with which the juice was pressed from the fruit.
