not your average apple crumble 🍏
plus, a comforting one-pot meal + this week's things I'm loving (this checkered serving board)
Ok, here's a divine new apple crumble recipe that's a little different and might even surpass a traditional version. It's spiced with cardamom and fennel seeds and caramelised with browned butter and white chocolate chunks baked on top. 😍
It might sound like a lot with all those elements and flavours, but the mix is subtle in the way they come together. They’re made for each other and perfect with the mildly tart apple. I think you’ll love this one!
Although browning the butter requires a tad more patience than simply melting it, the depth of flavour it imparts to the crumble is undeniably worth the effort. Its caramelised richness adds a warm, inviting note that elevates every bite.
Served with vanilla ice cream or thick cream, your perfect decadent winter dessert is here.

🍏 Cardamom & Fennel Seed Browned Butter Apple Crumble with Caramelised White Chocolate
This new apple crumble recipe is simply divine! Served with vanilla ice cream or thick cream, your perfect decadent winter dessert is here.
Don't let the deep dark brown of the crumble worry you as it gets to the end of the baking time. This is ok, as it’s really caramelising and creating a contrast of flavour and texture. The time also ensures the apples are adequately cooked and caramelised.
Oh, and a flat-based baking dish, rather than a curved or deep baking dish, is best for this recipe so the apples cook and caramelise evenly.
 Shaved Brussels Sprout & Walnut Salad with Manchego Olive Oil DressingThe beauty of this dish is that it's all put together in one bowl; the dressing gets whisked in the serving bowl, and then the salad ingredients are placed on top, ready to toss before serving—perfect! |  Buttered Tomato, Basil & Chicken Orzo BakeA warm, comforting one-pot meal that is so easy to prepare with little hands-on time. |

03 An offset spatula—it's a very handy kitchen tool if you don't already have one. It's great for smoothing anything, especially baked goods.
