Mark Hix cooks with Bramleys

Mark Hix, top chef, British food champion and author, has created some Bramley apple recipes. Click on the images below for the recipes and video guides.

Bramley Apple and Cider Pudding

"As a kid I remember the bread pudding my Gran used to make would be a regular tea time snack. It's one of those puddings or cakes that all households that cook should make once a week. It makes a great tea time snack or try serving it as a pudding with some homemade ice cream like marmalade or even brown bread ice cream." Video guide available

Bramley Apple Crumble Ice Cream

"I've made this recipe from scratch and kept the topping separate from the apple filling to give the crunchy bits more impact. What's more, the ice-cream base represents the custard, so you have the full dessert monty..."

Bramley Apple Snow

"This was an Elizabethan favourite, made with cream and later, in the 17th century, with egg whites added and a sprig of rosemary stuck on top to resemble a snow-covered tree." Video guide available

Somerset Temperley Sour

"Bramley apples are not just for desserts, used like this they make a delicious pre dinner cocktail, or in fact you don’t have to wait for dinner they can be an anytime cocktail" Video guide available

Lamb's kidneys with Bramley Apple Mash

"You may not think that apple and kidneys are a good match but in France you quite often see kidney dishes with apples and calvados on menus. The kind of sweet and sourness of the apples cuts through the richness of the kidneys and forms a harmonious partnership.”

Parsnip and Bramley Apple Soup

"The sweetness of parsnips can be a little too much sometimes in a soup but the tartness of the Bramleys balances that up nicely." Video guide available
