If you’ve never tried cooking with them, or using them in salads, start now, with these easy healthy apple recipes. Crisp, juicy apples are available all year round. Although there are thousands of apple varieties, most shops stock only a handful of the possibilities, and many farmers have given up growing the less well-known types, in response to supermarket pressure.

Organic apples are more likely to have blemishes on the skin than non-organic fruits, but will often have a better flavour. Choose smaller apples, which often have a better, more intense flavour and firmer texture than large ones, and store them somewhere cool, out of direct light. For cooking, you can use Bramleys, which cook down to a fluffy pulp, but have a tart flavour which need sugar, or experiment with eating varieties. Many of them also cook well, so give them a go in these easy healthy apple recipes.
