Apple recipes

Make the most of crisp, juicy apples this autumn. Our best apple recipes include cosy crumbles, hearty pies and a stunning toffee-apple cake.

Some of the world’s finest apples grow in British orchards, and autumn is the time to enjoy them. Apples’ natural sweetness makes them a versatile addition to many cakes and bakes. Try traditional Dorset apple cake, sticky apple and banana loaf or our apple crumble cupcakes, topped with custard buttercream.

Serve your guests a classic apple dessert. How about tarte tatin with scoops of vanilla ice cream? Blackberry and apple crumble is an unbeatable pud for lazy Sundays, while apple souffles with salted caramel sauce are perfect when you want to impress.

Scroll on for more of our delicious apple recipes, including apple jellies and preserves to make the most of autumn’s harvest…
