Norfolk Beefing (Biffin) apple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fruits are very firm, round and slightly flat, about 5cms across and about 4 cms\u00a0 high with a course, juicy texture. The skin is yellow-green, but with brown-purple and dark red streaks.<\/p>\n

Inside, the crisp flesh has a green tint, acidic with a hint of cinnamon.<\/p>\n

The apples store well, getting sweeter with keeping, and are even sweet enough to use as desert apples by March the following year. A good cooking and drying apple.<\/p>\n

With keeping, they turn a deeper brown or maroon colour, with harder, more solid flesh.<\/p>\n

These apples were popular with Norwich bakers and were sent to London fruiterers as a delicacy. They were also used for cider making<\/p>\n

It is best cooked whole in a very slow (bread) oven for over 4 – 5 hours.<\/p>\n
