As you can see I have a glut of Apples and I’m cooking and baking with them constantly right now. These Apple Crisp Breakfast Muffins are sweet but a lot of the sweetness comes from the fruit and not sugar. Having said that the crispy topping is not so healthy but I imagine that these [...]

Remember when sales of Wensleydale went through the roof after Wallace & Gromit were seen eating it in their Christmas special?
