The Bramley apple was first grown from a pip planted by a girl called Mary Ann Brailsford in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, in 1809. It has been Britain's favourite cooking apple ever since.

A simple, tart-sweet purée of cooking apples. The classic partner for roast pork, sausages and crackling.

Method

Put the apples, water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cover and cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the apples collapse.

Beat with a wooden spoon for a rustic sauce, or blend for a smooth one.

Stir in the butter and cinnamon, if using. Taste and add more sugar if needed.

Serve warm or cold. Keeps for 5 days in the fridge.

Chef's Tip

Bramley apples cook to a fluffy purée and keep their tartness. With sweeter eating apples, cut the sugar and add a squeeze of lemon.
