Granny Smiths (normal apples) is not exactly the same as the cooking apples (over-plump). See image below only if I can upload....

Sorry, I have tried to upload the image but it does not work....

As Bramley apples are really only grown in the U.K. I would suggest you ask someone to bring for you when visiting.

Sorry my Granny Smith suggestion was greeted with disdain and will refrain from further suggestions.

The short answer is..........there aren't any.

You have to use eating apples.

The Granny Smiths suggestion is a valid one in the absence of Bramley apples.

Iv used Granny Smiths for apple pies and baked apples since Iv lived here, very nice too.

LeungKen / BillPhillips, thanks for your kind suggestions. I agree Granny Smith is probably the best substitution but maybe little expensive. I used to buy the Bramley apples at the market between Chalong & Phuket Town a few years ago but today I can not find them now. However I am forced to make the "mixed" mango crumble instead. It turns out to be delicious.

Try peach (tinned) and mango crumble. Lovely stuff.
