Cinnamon Custard

Single-Crust Sweet Pastry Pie Shell

Apple Spread

Cinnamon Buns

Enjoy these buns straight out of the oven for the ultimate comfort-food treat. Remove them from the baking dish while they're still hot, otherwise the sugar will cool and harden, making them difficult to release.

Marzipan for Fruitcake

Lemon Poppy Seed Roll

Meringue creates a dramatic, golden-textured crust for this lively lemon-filled cake. Whipped cream is an alternative to meringue when appropriate.

Classic Hot Cross Buns

Traditionally enjoyed on Good Friday, this raisin-flecked, cross-adorned dessert is a favourite Easter treat. Love raisins? Add an extra half cup and omit the mixed peel or apricots.

Chocolate Soufflés with Amaretto Crème Anglaise

If you're looking to amaze dinner guests with an impressive dessert, soufflés are just the trick. Since height is the sign of a successful soufflé, always serve them straight out of the oven, before their tops have a chance to settle. Serve a shot glass of crème anglaise to each guest so they can pour it in after opening the soufflé with a spoon.

Blueberry Buckle

This cakelike pudding is delectable with cream, whipped cream or ice cream. If you use frozen berries, thaw them on paper towels beforehand, and extend cooking time to 50 minutes.
