Apple Crumble Cake

There were numerous apple varieties available in Edwardian England, and the fruit was extremely popular for use in both cooking and baking. When you can, select heirloom varieties, which are both tarter and more versatile. Granny Smith and Cox’s Orange Pippin are good choices, as is the Braeburn. Bramley is the best-known cooking variety in Britain and a sound bet for any baking recipe.
