Apple & Rhubarb Crumble.
Coming soon to my Instagram @a.wandering.palate
Tender apples and tart rhubarb create a delightful filling, while a buttery crumble topping with a hint of nuttiness adds a satisfying crunch. Each spoonful offers a delightful contrast: the warm, soft fruit filling against the crisp, nutty crumble.
