These Hasselback apples are an irresistibly sweet, aromatic dessert, ideal for cooler days. The seductive scent of cinnamon wafts through the air as soon as they come out of the oven, making the wait almost impossible. But it pays to be patient! After a brief cooling period, the full flavour of the crunchy crumble unfolds. Best enjoyed warm – with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of creamy yoghurt.
