If I'm honest I don't do a great deal in the garden and the Cox apple tree seems to thrive on complete neglect. Despite not watering it when it's dry or pruning it back, for the second year running it has produced a good number of apples.

Some were a little damaged (eaten) so I decided to core them along with the single Bramley apple and make them into an apple puree. My ignorance about cooking is unbelievable so I looked up apple puree on the web and read that I just need to core and then cut into slices. What I failed to read is that I was supposed to peel them first. No matter the skin will be good for me and the apple pulp tastes wonderful. Recipes for making an apple crumble welcome - please.
