Best Apple and Pear Recipes

My favourite apple and pear recipes are great for pudding for any occasion, and most of them double up as teatime treats. Especially good on a cold day. If you're short of time, make an Apple Scone in half an hour.

Cakes and puddings using apples or pears — Best Apple & Pear Recipes

Apple and pear recipes are good at any time of year, but especially in Autumn when the fruit is plentiful and cheap (or free if you have a fruit tree or friends with a glut).

Apples for pudding or tea

Apart from Blackberry and Apple Crumble, any of these recipes can be eaten for pudding or for tea. Serve with cream or custard (preferably homemade).

Apple Sponge Cake

Apple Sponge Cake can be served warm for dessert or cold at teatime. The cake has a crispy top with an apple and sultana filling.

Pear and Almond Cake

Pear and Almond Cake is an autumn treat - moist almond cake with a caramelised pear topping. Serve for pudding or afternoon tea.

APPLE SCONE

Large scones are really quick to make. This one takes 30 minutes. Try Apple Scone for tea or pudding, served with butter or cream. It's best eaten the day it's made.
