'Bramley' apples for apple tarts or do you use another type?!
Answers:
Can't get Bramleys in Italy where we live!. We've planted a few Bramley trees on our farm, but it will be a couple of years before they start to produce!.
In the meantime, we use Granny Smiths for baking apples and they work reasonably well!. Handily, we've recently discovered that we have a Granny Smith tree growing in a rarely-visited corner!.
Life is hard for us!. ;->

rarely use apples now,i bake my pies using tinned pears+sultanas,with about 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger root!.i even cheat with the pastry using "netto's" just add water short crust pastry with "nettos" just sprinkle on (no prep necessary)crumble topping!.
the final cheat i use in my pies ~pour a tin of instant custard on top of the fruit before sprinkling topping on !.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Never mind the apple tart, how about baked apples!?
Can't get them where I live!. In fact here in Switzerland there is nothing close to a 'cooking' apple!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I suppose "Bramley's" are the best, there are others but most supermarkets only supply Bramley's, in catering, they are the industry standard! Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can use any type you like, but the only one to remain like any kind of REAL apple is the good old Bramley!
