6. Pear & yogurt spelt cake 

 

Make this cake with spelt flour: rich in fibre, it works well in bakes, providing nuttiness and subtle sweetness. Adding yogurt to the cake batter, along with the juices from the baked pears, also ensures this cake stays incredibly moist.

7. Pear, pecan & apple crumble 

 

Make the most of pears at the end of summer and transform them into a glorious crumble alongside pecans and caramel. This recipe is excellent for feeding a crowd as it serves up to eight people, though you might have to fight off people going for seconds. The smell of stewing apples and caramel will fill the house as you complete the two simple steps, so it’s as comforting to make as it is to eat. Enjoy drizzled with warm custard.
