Apricot Crumble

A hearty warm crumble full of delicious apricots!

When apricots are in season the one thing you need to make is a crumble. It's super easy, with minimal ingredients and not expensive to make. Plus your family and friends will thank you for making it :) You just can't go wrong with a crumble to be honest, especially when served with a big dollop of custard or ice cream which is an absolute must for a crumble. My favourite custard is either Oatly or Alpro, so creamy and sweet and especially for vegan alternatives, they've really nailed it on the head.

✿To make the crumble topping,place the flour, ground almonds and butter in a mixing bowl. Using y0ur fingers rub the butter into the flour until it resembles a crumbly texture.
