Nothing says holiday more than the tantalizing aroma of apples and cinnamon drifting from your kitchen.What makes our Apple Crumble recipe so special? Other than the divine taste, it is simple, healthy, and transforms a few simple pantry items into something fit for a holiday celebration. The combination of tender sweet apple filling with the toasted crunch of oats and walnuts will please young and old alike. Banish the store bought pie – we’re sure that after one bite this will become a regular at your holiday table.
Leftovers (if there are any) are even better the next day.
