Crumble… the ultimate comfort food
For the past couple of years, my Super Easy Apple Crumble has been by far one of the most popular recipes on my little blog! And it’s no wonder… it really is the easiest and yummiest thing ever. Plus it’s the perfect winter comfort food (especially when it’s smothered in a huge scoop of vanilla ice-cream).
Don’t get me wrong, I love my classic apple crumble recipe as much as anyone… but sometimes it’s nice to change things up a bit! And so, on Mother’s Day this year, I made an apple blueberry crumble. YUM! It’s the same good old classic recipe, BUT with the addition of frozen blueberries.
I had my little helper Will in the kitchen with me baking this crumble (he’s finally becoming quite the little mini-chef!). He’s 15 months old now and can put ingredients into the Thermomix bowl for me (well… most of them make it in there!). He’s also a big fan of taste-testing along the way (just like his mumma!).
So please believe me that this really is the easiest apple blueberry crumble recipe ever. If I can make it one-handed with a little ‘helper’ latched onto my hip… then you can totally do this with your eyes closed. Seriously it’s that easy! Mind you.. maybe don’t close your eyes – that might not be the best advice I’ve ever given!!
Next time you’re after a quick and easy dessert that’s going to be a sure winner with the whole family, then please, please give this apple blueberry crumble a go. It’s sure to leave you drooling…!
