About

One day, I found myself with only two pieces of fruit left in the fridge, namely one apple and one nectarine, which I was planning on virtuously eating raw as part of lunch when I realised with glee that I also had the makings of a crumble topping

The result was this two-serving gluten-free crumble, which I have to say, it was one of the tastiest I've ever made.

As Isadora Duncan said:
"Virtuous people are simply those who have not been tempted sufficiently..."

Well, I was tempted, and my resistance crumbled :-)
