Apple Berry Crumble
With the days and nights getting warmer, we are more likely to indulge in lighter desserts. This easy dessert is perfect for a sneaky after dinner treat with a nice big scoop of ice cream. You could even make it for breakfast or brunch and serve it with a spoonful of yoghurt. The choice is yours!
This recipe has very little sugar and the crumble is made up of seeds and nuts, not oats and flour like a traditional apple crumble. Making this ideal for those who are gluten free. Serve with dairy free ice cream or yoghurt for a dairy free version.
