This looks delicious! Out of interest, is a Bramley apple tart like a Granny Smith apple?

Yes apparently a Granny Smith makes the best substitute.

From cooks info:

A Bramley is a green apple, sometimes with light-red striping, whose tangy, sharp flavour makes it very popular for cooking. The apples grow quite large, about 3 inches by 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm.) Bramleys come on the market in the UK around the start of October.

Lovely baked Bramleys ..

We have a variety of apples, brought to both Spain and southern France dating back to the Roman Empire ( Reinette in French ) used for baking purposes, called a " Reineta" in Spanish and these would be perfect for your baked apples .. We use them for baked apples and stuffing of game birds as well ..

They are quite tart however similar to Bramlays or Granny Smiths, however, without the false shine, and they are Golden Tan brownish, splotched with pale Green markings and very large and not at all shiny ..

Thank you for posting ..
