APPLE CRUMBLE RECIPE
If you are anything like me, you will buy a bag of apples and by the time you are halfway through them you are wanting a change to simply eating apples. This is when I like to use the last few up and make some apple crumbles.
I know it isn’t as healthy as eating the apples, but a little bit of everything in moderation is completely fine (and this is certainly worth the extra calories).
Don’t worry about how difficult it seems as it really is a doddle to make and I am sure you’ll be using this for all fruit crumbles in the future.
