8 apple and pear recipes to celebrate the season

Making focaccia from scratch has never been easier with our special M&S Focaccia Mix. Topped with seasonal cinnamony apples and pears, this is a sweet twist on an Italian fave.

As seen on Tom Kerridge Cooks Britain on ITV1, this crumble champions apples, pears and blackberries. "Few things beat the fruity flavour of this warm pud with the crunchy texture of the oat and hazelnut topping”, says Tom. We couldn’t agree more.

If crumbles aren’t your thing, round off this Sunday’s roast with hot, sticky baked apples, stuffed with crunchy Collection Caramelised Fruit and Nut Granola, and served with lemony crème fraiche.

Juicy, caramelised honey-glazed pears are a perfect match for rich chestnuts and creamy ricotta, piled onto sourdough toasts. A delicious starter or canapé.

These energy-packed oat bars are sweetened with apple, pear, banana, dates and a little golden syrup. Get the kids involved with mixing and mashing in the bananas and pouring it all into the baking tin. Sunday activity, sorted.

Who’s for cocktails and cake? This light and not-too-sweet apple and pear cake is the ideal pairing with our whisky sour, made with M&S Distilled Scotch whisky, homemade pear syrup, cloudy apple juice and lemon. A great celebration twist on afternoon tea.

Pair sticky-sweet, honey-roast apples and pears with bitter, crisp chicory, creamy, sharp gorgonzola and crunchy caramelised walnuts in this perfectly seasonal salad.

A cracking autumn crumble, this humble apple and pear recipe is quick to throw together using M&S Select Farms apples and pears and Scottish porridge oats. Yum.
