Everyone loves an apple crumble. Warm cooked apple, spiced with cinnamon and sweetened with brown sugar topped with a crunchy sweet and savoury oat topping. It is the perfect dessert for any occasion and this recipe is the perfect portion for two hungry individuals. You can enjoy this dessert on its own or with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream! If you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, save this for later and try it out! I have made the recipe with pears and it turns out just as well, so feel free to experiment with this recipe.

Sprinkle 2 extra teaspoons of brown sugar on top.
