Gingerbread Cinnamon Cupcakes

Our Chocolate Apples recipe makes a great alternative to Toffee Apples and are probably kinder on little teeth. We've used nice sharp Granny Smith apples for our recipe as the sourness balances nicely with the sweet chocolate. We've also used round lolly sticks rather than the traditional flat ones as they push into the apples easier without snapping. The decoration possibilities are endless, sprinkles, chocolate chips, honeycomb or even mini marshmallows, anything goes!

Chocolate Dipped Apples

These are easy midweek baking, making good use of &nbsp;delicious eating apples. Add a pinch of black pepper for a more grown up flavour to tingle the palate.

Fun to make and share.&nbsp; Why not get creative and decorate with chocolate sprinkles or decorations to personalise your toffee apples.

Toffee Apples

It is pretty evident I am obsessed with apple crumble. This cake has four layers of light brown sugar sponges, apple compote filling, and squiggles of salted caramel. And a few clusters of crumble, you know, for texture, as they say. This recipe is&nbsp;extracted from Cheeky Treats by Liam Charles, published by Hodder &amp; Stoughton on 12th July priced £20.00 Photography by Haarala Hamilton © Hodder &amp; Stoughton 2018 &nbsp;

Toffee Apple Crumble Layer Cake

This low calorie apple strudel is absolutely gorgeous. The filo pastry is lower in calories than traditional shortcrust and puff pastry. Once you get use to handling it, it can become a great topping for pies or a case for your favourite tarts. Try adding sultanas or dried apricots to the apples, to make it that bit more fruity!

The Pecan Pie is a classic warming pudding and these mini versions are certainly no exception. Buttery pastry filled with caramelised pecan nuts and a hint of maple syrup - does it get any better? Well, maybe if you serve with a scoop of creamy <a data-item-id="8eb39c5d-3d7a-5245-8cc2-df160ac95723" href="">maple ice cream</a>...

What could be more British than the humble crumble on a cold day? One of our favourite crumble flavour combinations is Apple and Blackberry which is why we've paired the two to create these yummy crumble slices.&nbsp;

Warmed up to the point where the marshmallows melt with the nutella filling, these 'smores are sure to leave you wanting more.&nbsp;

An upside-down cake is pretty much a staple of British home comfort. John Whaite shares with us his version flavoured with clementine and cardamom. The refreshing sour clementine flavour is lovely against the bittersweet caramel. The cardamom is there in the background of every mouthful making this cake a really mouth-watering recipe. This recipe features in Comfort by John Whaite, published by Kyle Books. Photography by Nassima Rothacker.

Traditionally Churros are made by deep frying batter and coating the individual Churros in cinnamon flavoured sugar. Not everyone has a deep fat fryer (or wants to use one) so we put together this recipe for Baked Churros. We can all breathe a sign of relief, no extra oil added when it bakes in the oven. This classic Spanish sweet snack goes a long way to putting smiles on faces and even better, we've made a chocolate dipping sauce to go with them. We've included a simple step by step video above to run you through the steps. These baked churros are also good served with our own <a data-item-id="982ac7b6-4e43-5b7f-aa2a-7a97760f9248" href="">Marshmallow Fluff</a> recipe.

Baked Churros

Our friend John Whaite was inspired by a trip to Stockholm when he created this cinnamon bun recipe. John shares with us that it’s important to include the cardamom as well as the cinnamon to get the authentic flavour. This recipe is very much like a warming cuddle in every mouthful. If you're after something carby and scrumptious, then put the kettle on, this is the perfect yummy recipe, just for you.

Cinnamon Buns

How can you improve a brownie? Challenge accepted. We've added a layer of salted caramel to what we believe is the ultimate brownie recipe... you can practically taste it just looking at the pictures. We've used Billington's unrefined sugars in this recipe to get that depth of rich flavour we all seek in a good brownie. This recipe really pulls out all the stops when it comes to flavour, go on- you know you want to.
