Just had an Apple, When I shook it the pips inside rattled. I cannot think what the variety is called, is it coxan Orange pipping?

    Hearing pips rattle when you shake an apple just means that the apple is ripe. 

    Doesn't necessarily mean it's a Cox's Orange Pippin.

    GWRS - if your iPad rattles when you shake it there's something wrong image

    Yes, it is a method of telling if Cox's Orange Pippin is ripe. Don't know any other apple that does it so well.
