Apple Crumble and Custard Cupcakes Apple cupcakes with a small chilled custard center and a separately baked crumble topping. Allow time for the custard to chill before filling the cakes. There are three parts to make: apple cupcakes, stovetop custard and a tray of crumble. Start with the custard if […]
Toffee Apple Bread and Butter Pudding Buttered bread and thinly sliced apples bake in a toffee-flavored custard, with browned edges on top and a soft center. This is a useful way to use bread that has gone a little dry. Brioche makes a richer pudding, while white bread gives the […]
Easy Baked Pears with Amaretti Pear halves bake with honey, butter and cinnamon, then get a topping of crushed amaretti. Allow about 30 to 55 minutes, depending on the size and ripeness of the pears. Choose ripe pears that still feel firm. Very soft fruit can collapse in the oven, […]

The Best Blackberry Pie Blackberries baked in an all-butter double crust, with a lattice top or a vented pastry lid. Let the pie cool fully before cutting so the berry filling has time to set. Keep the butter cold when making the pastry. Small pieces left in the dough help […]
