Apple Cinnamon Crisp

APPLE CINNAMON CRISP

It’s been a bumper year for soft fruit and the apples have been absolutely cracking too.  We’ve grown three varieties on the allotment, haven’t a clue what they are but they are all delicious, sweet, slightly tart and crisp.   We’ve made apple juice, Bircher Muesli, apple chips and even cider  (which is currently fermenting in our basement!) but this recipe is one of our family favourites.  It’s similar to a crumble but less heavy, incredibly easy to make and it’s vegan and gluten free.
