Adaptable Apple Crumble
Originally inspired by Sally Fallon’s Apple Cobbler from Nourishing Traditions, this traditional ‘oldie’ is really a ‘goodie’. Not often we have dessert but if we do have this on a special occasion leftovers are a must. Rich with healthy fats and proteins it is marvellous served cold as left overs, and works well as a nutrient dense, satiating lunchbox addition.

Originally inspired by Sally Fallon's Apple Cobbler from Nourishing Traditions, this traditional 'oldie' is really a 'goodie'. Not often we have dessert but if we do have this on a special occasion leftovers are a must. Rich with healthy fats and proteins it is marvellous served cold as left overs, and works well as a nutrient dense, satiating lunchbox addition. This recipe can be altered to give you versions of Apricot, Rhubarb or Pear crumbles.
