Arthur Turner Cooking Apple
The Arthur Turner apple tree was bred in 1912 at Slough, Berkshire in the UK.
It's a partially self-fertile variety which produces fruit earlier in the year than most,
from late September onwards.
Arthur Turner is a very versatile apple for cooking. When cooked it breaks down to a sweet
puree with the result that it requires little additional sugar in pies and sauces. It makes
one of the best baked apples ever, a treat which should be sampled more often than it is
nowadays.
