Can bramley cooking apples be substitued with normal bramley apples in the apple pie recipe?
There is no such thing as ‘normal’ or ‘cooking’ Bramley apples – Bramley Apples ARE cooking apples. You can use ANY type of apples when making an apple pie anyway. If you want a soft apple filling then cook them separately first – just use the peeled and cord and cut-up apples with a little sugar and gently heat them in a pan until they are to your liking – then let them cool down before you put them in a pastry-lined dish.
