I'd say that more than a quarter-millennium of tradition makes them pretty authentic. Apples and commercial curry powders have been used in English curries for over 150 years (don't know when sultanas in English curries date to). With that kind of history, how can a traditional-style English curry not be an authentic English curry?

Some of them can be horrible, but the same thing can be said about other English dishes as well.
