Egremont Russet. Bloody Ploughman. Cox’s Orange Pippin. Ellison’s Orange. Crimson king. James Grieve. Bramley’s Seedling. All British apple varieties and so much more delicious and varied than the standard supermarket Royal Gala and Golden Delicious. Think of fruit, and you'll probably call to mind the apple. Think of those old Ladybird Books ABCs - where apple starts the alphabet. Think of something healthy and we think of apple. The humblest and most everyday of fruits, but there’s so much more to the apple than first meets the eye. Read on for my ode to apples, and a delicious recipe for apple and star anise cake, an exclusive extract from ‘Slow Seasons’.
