One of my all-time favourite desserts is a classic apple crumble! As the nights get darker and the weather gets cold, a warm delicious apple crumble is the perfect pudding!
A fun autumnal activity before you start baking, is to pick the fruits yourself! I went to local orchard to collect some apples, as the season is coming to an end now I had to reach high to get the perfect apple. My recipe is for anyone that loves a golden, crunchy crumble topping, with sweet apples and a hint of cinnamon!
