I love a good winter. It should be finger-tingling cold, and foggy
with lots of rain, with hours spent indoors with the slow cooker
on and an apple crumble in the oven. A slow cooked dinner followed by a good apple
crumble and a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream sounds like an
ideal winter meal to me!
The spiced apple crumble recipe below is
adapted from Mrs Rogers as it contains
organic vanilla from their new range. The vanilla, along with the
generous amounts of warming spices of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg makes for a beautifully spiced apple crumble, perfect for a cold winter's evening.
