Phil has been awarded the Best Bramley Media Chef of the year for the third time in four years. When asked what was so special about Bramley Apples Phil replied “I’m a real lover of Bramley apples, when I was a kid my mum would stew them and serve them with a large jug of room temperature custard, delicious. To me it’s a fantastic apple and I love it!”

It doesn’t take long to rustle up a beautiful Bramley apple pie or crumble but if you want a ready-made product full of the very best apple taste you should check out the recommendations of this year’s Brammy judges at http://www.bramleyapples.co.uk.

Bramley apples are Britain’s favourite cooking apple, renowned for their superior culinary properties, unrivalled taste and texture. The essential ingredient in classic home-cooked apple pie, Bramley is also delicious in products bought from the supermarket.

Chairman of the Bramley Campaign, Adrian Barlow, said: Bramley apples are the best apples for cooking because they retain their flavour and develop a wonderfully light and moist consistency when cooked. They deliver superb quality in each and every product that uses them, and are certainly unrivalled by any other apple. The Brammy Awards are our opportunity to celebrate the very best Bramley products.
