Apple crumble destined for the oven |
The winter months turn my attention towards comfort food and when it comes to desserts, it's gotta be something cinnamony for me. I had a few apples left in the fridge and this apple crumble is so quick and easy to make that I managed to get it ready whilst cooking the dinner.
It takes about 30mins to cook and I take it out as I'm plating up dinner so it has a chance to cool slightly for the kids. Best served with a good quality vanilla ice cream although my husband keeps voting for custard one day...
