Autumn has arrived, which means apples are having their moment.
Whether you've come home with a bag from an autumn walk, picked a few yourself or simply have some sitting in the fruit bowl waiting to be used, there are plenty of ways to turn them into something a little more exciting.
Think warm cinnamon, crumbly toppings, chewy flapjacks and cosy bakes fresh from the oven.
So, wondering what to make with apples this autumn? Here are four easy recipes to get you started.
1. baked apple & cinnamon crumble 🍎
Let's start with an autumn classic.
Apple and cinnamon are one of those combinations that just make sense when the weather gets colder, and this baked apple & cinnamon crumble brings them together in a proper cosy dessert.
Warm, fruity and finished with that all-important crumble topping, it's exactly the sort of thing we want coming out of the oven on a chilly autumn evening.

2. cinnamon & apple flapjacks
Apples aren't only for dessert.
These cinnamon & apple flapjacks combine rolled oats with finely chopped apple, CINNAMON SYRUP, almond flakes and crushed macadamia nuts. One batch makes nine, making them an easy one to bake now and keep ready for later.
A cup of tea alongside one is strongly encouraged.

3. cinnamon baked apple
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones.
A cinnamon baked apple lets the fruit itself do most of the work, turning an everyday apple into something warm and autumnal.
It's a lovely one for those colder evenings when you fancy something sweet but don't necessarily want to start a full baking project.

One of the best things about apples is just how much you can do with them.
Bake them whole when you want to keep things simple. Add them to flapjacks or oat bars for something you can make ahead. Or go all in with a warm crumble when only pudding will do.
And if cinnamon happens to make its way into the recipe too? Even better.
Four recipes. One very autumnal fruit bowl. Plenty of reasons to get the oven on.
