The perfect ten apple cakes and bakes for Rosh Hashanah

Another parev bake that will also be perfect for vegan guests is Denise Phillips’s apple, date and tahini cake. The nutty-tasting sesame paste makes it moist and tender and it’s choc-a-block with fruit.

Need a bake in a hurry? My grated apple tart will do the job. Giving treacle tart vibes, It’s so quick and easy — even faster if you use a shop-bought pastry case — and can double up as dessert.

For a real showstopper and the quickest confectioner’s custard EVER, make my caramelised apple and summer fruit shortcrust tart. Inspired by M&S’s crunchy, buttery tart case, the end results are so professional, your guests will think you’ve taken a patisserie course. And it’s not hard to make.

Lisa Roukin also came up trumps with her apple and honey cornbread skillet cake. It’s a showstopper of a dessert, especially if you can serve it in a cast iron skillet pan.
