Additional information
Crumble is the ultimate comfort dessert, and this autumn version is its finest expression. The soft apples, lightly caramelised with cinnamon, pair perfectly with chestnuts that bring their unique taste and slightly floury texture.
The crumble topping, enriched with ground hazelnuts, forms a golden, crispy crust that contrasts wonderfully with the melting fruit filling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream for an unforgettable autumn dessert.
