Apple Crumble

We used the apples we bought at the market today to make apple crumple for dessert. We found the recipe on the Best Recipes website. It was simple, easy to follow and quick to put together. This dessert is delicious served with ice-cream or double cream. You can also add sultanas to the apples.

I modified the recipe slightly to suit our tastes.
