Gluten free Apple Berry Crumble recipe
This Gluten free Apple Berry Crumble recipe is one of those ‘what have we got in the cupboards?’ dishes. Last night I remembered that there was some stewed apple in the freezer. It was made from the windfall apples from my daughter’s garden. Last year I collected a huge bag of them and had a day of washing, chopping and cooking them. After washing, I cut them into quarters and removed the core, then sliced them. I leave the skin on them as I prefer the texture and taste. I added a little lemon juice, some unbleached sugar and some cinnamon before cooking over a medium heat (with the lid on the pan) until they were soft, but not completely mushy. Then once the apples had cooled completely, I froze them in individual meal size bags (approximately 1lb cooked weight). It took just a few minutes in the microwave to defrost the stewed fruit ready to make into an apple and berry crumble. Or if you prefer not to use a microwave, leave the apple in the fridge to thaw completely before use.

One of the nicest kitchen gifts I have received is a nutmeg grater, it grates the nutmeg finely and evenly and has a small compartment for storing a nutmeg.
