I was having sore throat and cold and yearning for a good dessert.. The taste of caramalised apples with cinnamon was flashing in my mind.. As i didn’t have the patience to make an apple pie, I settled on the easier version – Apple Crumble. Delicious and can be prepared in a jiffy.. I got the recipe from here, modified it to cut down the butter and sugar.
