Apple and Cranberry Crumble

Will be making this with great frequency. Ines loves it and it stops me searching for something truly naughty. For the filling: 3 cups (about 4) peeled gala apples, sliced 1 cup frozen cranberries 1 tbsp flour For the topping: 3/4 cup dry quick-cooking oats 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 tbsp all-purpose flour 3 tbsp light butter, melted (such as Land O Lakes) 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1/2 tsp salt Directions: Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine apples, cranberries along with the rest of the filling ingredients in a bowl. Pour into baking dish and even out with a spoon. Mix the topping ingredients (I used just one tablespoon of butter and just a tablespoon of sugar). Top didn't brown much but still tasted great (could probably add the butter, or just spray with an oil spray if you have one to get the nice brown top). Delicious, not sweet, kind of tart taste. Ines loved it and even Nick had a bit

If we had a holiday party, i would be channelling this look. So perfectly wintery.

Weck

I'm obsessed with these canning jars. Perfection. I think I'll make some Lemon Curd or jam just so I can buy some. Too delicious.

Pretty ice cubes

Wish I could be bothered to ever do this. Maybe one day. If we get a weekend house (wishful thinking) and we have a lovely garden party.

Cheese Scone

Something for Nick. Left out the chives as he isn't a fan but he said the result was restaurant worthy - but more like an american style biscuit - lighter, and more layered.

Cranberry Clafouti

Super simple to make - takes about 5 minutes of prep time and then straight into the oven. I used frozen cranberries and it was delicious. Like a fat pancake with lovely, tart taste from the cranberries.

Recipe here And here it is if you dont want to go to link (or incase they take it off the site): Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature, for dish 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 2 large eggs 1 cup chilled heavy cream 3/4 cup whole milk 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest 1 1/2 cups fresh or thawed frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped Confectioners' sugar, for garnish Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 1-quart baking dish (not metal) using a pastry brush; sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over bottom. Sift remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the flour, and salt into a large bowl. Gradually whisk in eggs, 3/4 cup cream, the milk, and zest. Scatter cranberries into dish; pour batter over top. Bake until puffed, slightly set, and brown around edges, 32 to 34 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes (it will sink). Whisk remaining 1/4 cup cream until soft peaks form. Dust clafouti with confectioners' sugar. Serve with whipped cream. (it doesn't need the cream - i didn't bother)
