Mary Berry's Apple Loaf and Crumble Recipes

Mary Berry's autumn recipes — including a farmhouse brown seeded loaf and a six-ingredient apple crumble from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible — are receiving renewed attention as apple season begins. Home bakers praise the loaf as a healthier alternative to shop bread and advise checking an internal temperature of about 200°F (≈93°C) to ensure it’s cooked through. Her six-ingredient apple crumble was judged superior to a comparable Jamie Oliver recipe for appearance, taste and ease. Home and community bakers continue to share apple cake and quick apple-cinnamon swirl loaf variations using pantry staples, while Martha Stewart recommends tossing pie apples with brown butter and vanilla beans for deeper, caramel-like flavor. Earlier coverage that emphasized Berry’s advice to use high‑fat butter (over 75% fat) and properly softened butter to keep cakes moist remains a key baking tip for avoiding dry, dense results.
