I love a good fruit pie. And autumn is the perfect time to enjoy them!

New season apples are abundant now and berries are fantastically flavourful and aromatic.

So are Packham Pears!

This is a super simple pear and raspberry pie you can throw together really quickly. Get your hands on high quality puff pastry and you can’t go wrong!

You could also add your favourite spice mix.

It will be delicious with a crumble topping too!
