Nothing can beat a home-made crumpet or tart, so perhaps it’s time to unleash your inner baker with this delicious apple tart recipe?

Crumpets have not only become a new quarantine-related trend but are also incredibly easy to make and don’t require a lot of effort – which is even better.

The beauty of a crumpet lies in its simplicity. You can find lots of recipes online, including Jamie Oliver’s classic crumpets recipe, as well as some tips by Delicious Magazine, and Serious Eats.

The secret to the perfect crumpet – they must be filled with tiny crevices that, when warmed, become the ideal space to fill with butter. There are few things better first thing in the morning than a warm crumpet with butter and a pot of tea.

But if you’re looking for more of a challenge, we suggest moving to the making of the mighty tart with this delicious apple tart recipe!

Having cooked a number of tarts over the last few months, we’d like to share with you a lovely apple gouda and spicy honey tart recipe from Joy The Baker.

  Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
• 7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
• 8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

  Drizzle with honey and dot with fresh oregano.
