Easy Homemade Apple Recipes Everyone Will Love

Apples are one of my favourite fruits to bake with because they can be cosy, buttery, caramelised, crisp or fresh depending on the recipe. Start with apple pies and tarts if you want a classic dessert, browse the apple cakes and slices for afternoon tea or head to the savoury section for salads, pork and apple sauce. You can also browse my pies and tarts and pear recipes for more fruit baking ideas.

Apple Shortbread Slice Recipe
Featured apple recipe Apple Shortbread Slice Recipe

This double‑layered apple shortbread slice is a proper Aussie classic: a buttery top and bottom layer of shortbread cradles a middle of delicious cinnamon apples. Perfect for afternoon tea, a lunchbox or warmed with ice cream for dessert, it's unfussy, makes plenty and always pleases. This is a bit of a pushy recipe, Dear Reader, especially if you're partial to a traditional Aussie slice!
