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.

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. Try this apple scone for tea or for pudding. It's best eaten the day it's made.

Apple Streusel Cake

A 3-layer cake - vanilla sponge, juicy apple, and sweet cinnamon crumb. Perfect for tea or pudding.

Blackberry and Apple Crumble

Blackberry and Apple Crumble is an old favourite for a good reason - fruity filling, crunchy topping, quick and easy to make.

Apples in savoury recipes

Finally, a savoury recipe. Sausage and apple is a winning flavour combination and this casserole is quick and easy to make.

Sausage and Apple Casserole

A warming casserole ready in 45 minutes. A favourite with all the family.
