Chef's Tips
Try COOKED APPLE instead of raw apple.
Try GRATED CARROT and GOLDEN SULTANAS instead of apple and cranberries.
Use RAPESEED OIL (also known as CANOLA OIL or VEGETABLE OIL), it is mild in flavour and perfect for baking.
Try heating BUNS (under grill), slice in two and spread with vegan margarine - nice on a cold day!
Freeze well.
