Default Apple Tree Variety?

It fruits around mid August. It looks similar to a Bramley but the fruit
are not as big . The peel is green/ red. Pink blossom (doesnt really look
any different to any other apple tree).

We're in Suffolk and have a couple of trees that sound similar. They
are definitely cooking apples in that, when cooked, they break down to
a 'saucy' consistency and they're not sweet. The sauce they produce
is even more 'syrupy' than from a Bramley. They ripen earlier than
Bramleys and, like yours, are smaller.

Our trees are in an orchard that was probably planted 30 years or so
ago so would probably be 'modern' varieties (all the other trees are
fairly identifiable - Conference and William pears, Bramley Apples,
Victoria plums, some green plums and a.n.other eating apple).
