Dr C Weissenberg @drcweissenberg.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Excellent! The crumble looks fab. Our apple crop was poor this year with the drought. And as we’ve recently sold up our rural place & temporarily moved into a small flat in London, I guess we’ll anyway have to buy fruit for winter puds. Enjoy the sweet chewiness! Delicious 😋 010
