Annie’s Apple Crumble

Our neighbours had given us a huge tray of apples… to be honest I didn’t expect it to come this early, I thought apples are more an autumn fruit!

Anyway I turn to my trusted crumble recipe originated from BBCgoodfood website. I’ve made a few changes myself and here’s my adopted version.

The kids love this and will happily eat 2 bowls drowned with double cream in one setting… let me know how you like yours and what adaptation have you done to yours!
