Easy Apple Crumble for Dessert

I would be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t like the sweet aroma of baked apples, cinnamon and sugar. This Apple Crumble is easy to make for dessert. It is real comfort food for cold nights and, as so many people are now following a gluten-free diet, it also ticks the box on that. This dessert is a great option for Thanksgiving for those who do not like pumpkin pie. While you are enjoying dessert, maybe it is time to start thinking about Provence for the Holidays.

Fall Dessert Ideas

Pear (or apple) tarte tatin is a French dessert classic that only exists as a result of a fortunate culinary accident. This version is a twist on the traditional fruit using ingredients that grow in Provence – enjoy a slice of Quince Almond Tarte Tatin.

The bounty of fresh plums at our local market inspired this Plum Streusel Tart.

Just try to resist this homemade Apple Beignet with Caramel Ice Cream. This recipe turns seasonal apples into the best doughnuts ever.
