Directions
01
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
Cut tops off apples and scoop out insides, being careful not to get too close to edges (this could cause a collapsed apple!). Place hollowed-out apples on baking sheet.
03
In small bowl, mix together remaining ingredients.
04
Time to assemble! Stuff hollowed-out apples with lots of crumble so that itu2019s overflowing from the tops. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes (until soft and wrinkly). Serve with homemade or store-bought ice cream, if desired, and an extra sprinkling of cinnamon.

Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
