Autumn dessert

Autumn dessert recipes

Is autumn peak pudding season? Bake a comforting pud or two this fall with our autumn dessert recipes. It’s cosy cooking time, and you can throw together a crumble, bake a fruit pie, or steam a sticky pud to serve with lashings of custard.

Our autumn dessert recipes make the most of the season’s ripe fruits: think crisp apples, juicy pears, sweet plums, delicate quince and the last blackberries from the hedgerows.

There’s also some traditional autumn treats like pumpkin pie, s’mores and parkin, plus try our twist on summer pudding, with these chilled autumn puddings.
