- Mix the rest of the honey with the water and pour around the apples.

Notes
Bramley apples are a great choice for apple pies and tarts or great in an apple crisp mixed with berries; serve them simply stewed ith custard or pureed and sweetened in an apple sauce to accompany roast pork... or filled with dried fruit and nuts and baked with honey, as in this irresistible recipe.
Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream if your diet allows dairy.
If you warm the water, the honey will dissolve fast. Be careful if you do it in the microwave; microwave for 40-60 seconds only.
