My S/M recently had a shipment of Cox's Orange Pippins, a "heritage"
apple that one doesn't see here normally, in contrast to the UK. I
bought some and WOW! Superb flavour and texture. The appearance wasn't
exactly photogenic, which is probably why there were still some left the
following week enabling me to stock up.
I normally buy Galas but given the opportunity, the Coxes win out!

Also my favourite eating apple, I have two of them in my orchard.
Cox's Orange Pippins are never a nice looking apple, but they make up
for it with the flavour. That is also true of most heritage varieties
compared to modern varieties.

Russets are another favourite of mine that occasionally appear briefly

I don't think they were ever a picture perfect fruit.

Hmmm... Just looked them up. They look like what our one tree is. Might be.
They make good sauce, pie and Applets.

I haven't seen Pippins here but we do get russets in the fall, they
come and go very fast. An old farmer in the Annapolis Valley told me
years ago that just after the war ended Min of Ag ordered all old
trees cut down and replaced with MacIntoshes. They wanted
standardisation - great shame. He had managed to save one Bramley
they didn't spot

For pies you want a Bramley. Cox's are too small.

farmers get a rotten deal in Britain due to the EU anyway that's going
off Topic so I'm going to stay on topic my personal favourite is
Granny Smith but i do like (Cox's Orange Pippin).

Best regards

I have a Bramley in the orchard but haven't used the fruit for cooking
as yet, the tree is still a bit young and not yielding a lot.

Have you ever come across "Laxton Superb" apples? I saw some in a
greengrocer's once. They are *huge* and probably each weigh at least 450g.

Actually, I don't want pies. I only made them because we had the apples. I
was trying to use them up and there were no complaints.

So I have heard. Maybe the next season I'll have enough Bramleys to
find out.

Bloody hell! You'd need to be Julia Roberts to take a bite out of one.

I have a Golden Delicious and a Granny Smith. (cross pollenators). I
am looking at my chart and a Fuji may make a nice 3rd one for a triple
pollenator if i read it right.
