Top tips:
- Reduce food waste: Use up any leftover fruit such as apricots, berries, peaches, plums or pears. The fruit can be canned, dried or frozen.
- Turn up the flavour: Try adding 1/2 x 5ml spoon cinnamon to the fruit to enhance the flavour.
- Focus on fibre: Use wholemeal flour for the crumble topping to increase the fibre content.
