Your local food services Stubbard A west country apple usually ripe at the end of September or even later in the autumn. They are medium to large with skin of pale green with streaks of red & russet. While they’re a little too sharp for eating, as cooking apples they’re perfect. They hold their shape through cooking but, with a little sugar, will mash easily to a delicious puree. The apples do soften in November & December and are less sharp. If you have one of this variety of apple tree in your garden, keep it as they are quite rare. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, I remember these well. Deborah Loader
