An English cooking apple of a dark red variety.
Example sentencesExamples
- Biffins were enjoyed after being slow-baked between layers of straw before being pressed flatter, baked for a second time and sprinkled with sugar.

Late 18th century: representing a dialect pronunciation of beefing, from beef + -ing¹, with reference to the colour.

Rhymes

griffin, tiffin
