Apple & Rhubarb Crumble
Is it even Autumn unless you're eating crumble? This recipe is super easy to throw together and a great way to get kids eating some yummy fruit. The nutty topping add an extra level of yum too! If you want to get kids involved then they can help slice the fruit, layer the crumble, and make the topping (watch out for fingers with the blender)- rhubarb also makes excellent swords/magic wands!
