Autumn dessert recipes
Bake a comforting pud or two this fall with our autumn dessert recipes. It’s cosy cooking season, so throw together a crumble, bake a fruit pie, or steam a sticky pud to serve with lashings of custard.
Our autumn dessert recipes make the most of the season’s ripe fruits: think crisp apples, juicy pears, sweet plums, delicate quince and the last blackberries from the hedgerows.
There’s also some traditional autumn treats like pumpkin pie, s’mores and parkin. Enjoy!
