There’s something magical about September and October in the British countryside. Hedgerows brim with blackberries, allotments are bursting with courgettes, and perhaps best of all – apple season is here. From crisp eating varieties to sharp cookers, there’s no better time to celebrate the humble apple. At No Fuss Meals for Busy Parents CIC, we love championing seasonal produce that’s grown here in Britain. Apples are not only affordable and versatile, but they’re also packed full of fibre, vitamins and natural sweetness – perfect for family-friendly recipes that don’t cost the earth. One of our favourites at this time of year is the Great British Apple Toffee Cake. It’s sticky, comforting and just right for blustery afternoons, lunchboxes, or a pudding served with custard. Even better, it’s a brilliant way to get children involved in baking – whether that’s peeling and chopping (with a child-safe knife), stirring the toffee sauce, or proudly showing off the finished bake. Where possible, please buy British produce including British apples, flour, butter, sugar and eggs.
