Apple and Blackberry Spelt Crumble

Finally, after what seems like a horrendously long summer, we are starting to see the promise of cooler autumn days. I am sure many of you mourn the loss of summer, but not me. I love the scents, colours, clothes of autumn, but most of all, I love the food. Now the days are colder, thoughts…
