Our apple tree has produced an abundance of apples this year, probably due to all the good weather we have had over the summer. My go to dish with apples is apple crumble or apple and pear crumble (we have a small pear tree as well).
After consuming a few of these I was wanting to try something a bit different and I tried a little recipe which looked just up my street!
It’s a simple apple traybake recipe but very tasty and easy to follow and perfect for me, I get confused if there are a lot of ingredients.

It’s proved to be a popular recipe as Baldhiker author Janine Moore made it at the same time as me. Enjoy with custard, cream or on it’s own with a good cuppa!
