Sliced apple and burst berries covered with a layer of crunchy toasted millet and golden flaky oats; Apple and Blackberry Crumble.
Mash your tongue around something warm and crunchy.
Make this:
- When you’ve got the in laws over for dinner and need to impress them with something warm and hearty
- When you’ve got your nephews/nieces over for the day and want to show them the huge love you have for them
- When you’re at your self-catering weekend getaway and the ambience of that country stroll to linger
This recipe was inspired by foraging punnets of blackberries in the Cornish countryside.
This Apple and Blackberry Crumble has a hint of lime and a pinch of salt to lift it to ever dizzier heights.
This Crumble is vegan and gluten-free.
