Dessert
Apple, Blackberry & Almond Crumble
Refined sugar is one of the top ingredients in most traditional crumble recipes. I’ve just browsed a number of recipes that range between 70g on the conservative side to over 200g of sugar! This recipe favours the flavours of the apples and berries and contains just 4 tsp date syrup! That’s 1 tsp per serving.
