  • Use good quality spices - they have a huge impact on the flavor of the final product!
  • In our home we love swapping regular butter for salted butter - but that's up to you.
  • Please make you sure you mix the butter into your crumble with your hands because it will create the perfect crumble texture. This is a really fun step to enjoy with your kids if you like!
