My word! I never expected to LOVE this recipe so much. It is honestly delicious beyond the humble name of apple crumble! Because it’s in a cup (we used one of those pretty parfait glasses) you dig your spoon in and get a little bit of each layer and then you have an explosion of delicious-ness in your mouth! And it’s soooooooo quick and easy, and those tiny little apples you get in a tin that we used for garnish are so darn cute that it looks amazing as well! Winner! Tasty, easy to make, and easy on the eye! Yipppeeeeeee!
I just have to mention one more thing – that cream cheese / yoghurt / lemon layer might no sound like much, but it is absolutely AMAZING! Ok, ok where’s the recipe already, I hear you!
