Method
|
For each eye, gently flatten a dried apple ring with the palm of your hand, or alternatively use a slice of fresh apple (it will go brown, however).
Then slice a dried apricot through the middle so that you end up with two circular halves.
Press a half, sticky side down, onto the centre of an apple ring, and finish with a raisin half, sticky side down, for the pupil. |

Apple & Blackberry Crumble
Apple and Blackberry crumble is a definitive autumn dessert. In this version, you save even more time by not peeling the apples or pre-cooking the fruit. |
|
Grilled Apple and Cheese Sandwich
This snack is a firm favourite in our house, especially on the days when we’re in a hurry, the cupboards are a little bare, and there's no time to go shopping! All you need is bread, cheese and apples, after all! |

Denise Tolson's Smoked Haddock and Early Apples
Apples come into season in the UK in August, and there are varieties in season all the way through till the end of March.
Denise Tolson, VegBox Regular and our "Appointed Apple-Afficionado for August", recommends a savoury recipe using smoked haddock and early season apples. |

Denise Tolson's Bramley, Cox and Celeriac Dish
This recipe was provided to us by Denise Tolson (of Jerusalem Artichoke fame!). She got it from her mum. We love it because it uses not one but TWO types of apple, and unlike our other celeriac and apple recipe, this one is really quite luxurious. Enjoy!
Thanks to The Bramley Apple Information Service for the photo.

Cosy Baked Stuffed Apples
This recipe was suggested to us by our good friend Gill in London. It's a really comforting "old-school pud" that you can play around with, and which also works brilliantly for breakfast times. |
|
Apricot Sorbet
I made this last year with apricots fresh from my friend’s back garden. I was planning on serving it as a dessert, and then at the last minute it occurred to me what a great appetiser it would make. A fresh sprig of mint on the top of each serving finished off the presentation, and I definitely scored hostess points with my pals!

Apricot Upside-Down Cake
If you're saving the Apricot Sorbet recipe for even warmer weather, then how about a warm, fluffy slice of Apricot Upside Down Cake with your coffee, perhaps with a splash of cream or creme fraiche... |
|
Caramelised Fruit Cake
This delicious fruit cake recipe is one I discovered by accident - but it's now our favourite cake recipe. And you can guarantee that, once you've made it, it won't last long! It's really easy to make, too. |
|
Traditional Cherry Clafoutis
This traditional French dessert is so incredibly easy to make, and yet it's remarkably elegant. Certainly, if you use ramekins to make individual ones, it's idea for dinner parties. And yet it's so simple, it's also brilliant for family pudding, and (this is a bit naughty) it's lovely cold for breakfast, with the excuse that it's a bit like having pancakes! Just don't tell anyone we told you so... |

Tropical Wholefoods' Fairtrade Jewelled Rice
This recipe has been very generously donated to us by the brilliant team at Tropical Wholefoods, to accompany our Ooffoo feature on dried fruits. This is what the Tropical Wholefoods team have to say about the recipe:
"Inspired by rice served at traditional Persian weddings, this beautiful dish is a wonderful accompaniment to any curry or dahl." |
