Replacing the golden syrup in these caramels with a reduced cider syrup infuses each buttery bite with a subtle fruity tang.

Crumbly meringue, buttery apples, sticky caramel and boozy cream. What’s not to love?

Pronounced ‘bee-goss’, this flexible and forgiving stew is based on a traditional Polish recipe. The flavour is even better the next day

These loaded skins are packed with the cheesy, savoury flavours of a Welsh rarebit. Serve with a sharply dressed salad for a deliciously comforting dinner

With a sweet, buttery cobbler topping concealing a chunky apple and blackberry filling, this pudding is a crowd- pleaser that’s deceptively easy to throw together in a flash

Each bite of this spiced traybake cake – which is effortless to throw together on a whim – is the warming hug we all need at this time of year
