Hi Derry,

Did you try Jonagold in the microwave too? 

Microwave are great for warming up soups, but they don't bake, they mush... 
They don't make a crust, or brown anything, either. And I have yet to see an 
apple pie come out of the microwave, except the precooked one you would put 
in to defreeze.
No wonder, you were disappointed, but don't blame the Bramley.
I would suggest you make a culinary experience and try the good ole oven for 
baking apples, it works better!

  Hélène,

  I also tried to make a baked apple dessert with Bramleys quite a few years 
ago.

  I made up the filling as you mentioned and cored and filled the two big 
apples.  I
  put them in the microwave.

  When I opened the door after cooking, I was astonished ... my two big green 
apples
  were rings of skin about 1/2" high with the filling and apple puree all 
over the
  rings!

  So much for Bramley's as a baking apple ... you need a variety that has a 
big
  apple which holds it's shape after cooking e.g. Jonagold

  Hi Mark,
  Bramley is supposed to be a green apple. I had a visitor a few years ago 
who gave
  me what she claimed was the favorite recipe for Bramleys in England. A baked
  apple. You remove the core of the apple and stuff the inside space with 
brown
  sugar, nuts, raisins, butter and whatever else comes to mind and bake it in 
the
  oven.
