Last week was National Baking Week and not only did we celebrate by baking lots of naughty cakes but we also offered you the chance to win a mini tea hamper.
We asked you to bake Mrs Simkins’ Recipe of the Month – Caramel Apple Granny Tarts – and send us a photo of your efforts.
We had a great response and thoroughly enjoyed looking through all of your delicious baking creations. It was a really tough choice but Dee Weaver is the winner with her mouthwatering vegan take on the recipe:
“Replace the butter with soya spread, the egg with ¼ cup of coconut milk, and the dulce de leche with blackcurrant with a hint of ginger cordial. I used apples picked from a tree growing wild in what used to be the garden of a house that was demolished in the seventies. I don’t know what variety they are, but they’re similar to Cox’s, and very tasty.”
Well done Dee, who wins a box of our Organic Fairtrade Earl Grey, our Organic Fairtrade Green Chai and a box of our October Tea of the Month, Organic Dandelion and Burdock infusion.
Thank you to everyone who entered, keep an eye on our Facebook page and Twitter for more competitions.
