Summer Fruit Pastries

In the balminess of a summer's evening, when the heat of the day lingers slightly in the air, there is often nothing more apt and indulgent than a slice of a fruity pastry or tart.

Whether you're tucking into a zingy lemon tart or a classic slice of peach cobbler, these recipes provide perfectly delectable offerings for everything from summer party desserts to small treats to pair with a coffee or chilled lemonade.

Choose from simple bakes such as Fresh Fruit Eclairs and Blueberry and Summer Berry Tart, or bake to impress with Hazelnut and Apple Frangipane Tart and Strawberry Choux Ring.

Whether your sweet tooth sends you towards a warm slice of apple pie after a long day out making the most of the weather, or a cool summer tart on a hot afternoon, these bakes are the perfect way to satisfy your cravings in the warmer months of the year.
