When you ask someone what flavors and scents they might associate with fall,many might say things like nutmeg, cinnamon and apples. These flavors just go hand in hand with the season. This Apple & Cinnamon Crumble has all of these flavors and more.
When I received my September assignment for the Secret Recipe Club last month, I got right to work looking at the blog I was assigned, Searching for Spice. Corina resides in the UK and is the mother of two young children. She has her hands full and loves to cook and recently to bake, but tries to keep things simple. Her blog got it’s name because of Corina’s love of cooking with and the discovery of all sorts of spices! If you love curries, stir fries and spicy food, Searching for Spice is for YOU!! Two recipes that appealed to me were her Chicken and Noodle Salad (Ji Shi Liang Mein) and the Chicken Fried Rice.
I knew though, that I wanted to try and make something that would fall into the desire September brings for all things APPLE. I found a couple of apple recipes on Corina’s blog, but settled on this Crumble. I make apple crisp year round, as my kids adore it. I was curious to see how her dessert varied from mine. My kids thought it was neat to have their own individual dessert, and were immediately “mmmm’ing” as they ate.
This recipe was fun to make and enjoyed by all!
Thanks, Corina!
I did change up a few things on this recipe, but kept the main idea. I added the Craisins, and a little more spice, and made them in individual portions. Please take a moment to peek at the ORIGINAL RECIPE and while you are there, take a look at all of the other good recipes!

Thanks so much, Miz Helen!! We enjoyed it very much!!
I’m so glad you liked this. I like the extra spices you’ve added and as it’s about time to make apple crumble again I’ll have a go adding a little nutmeg and cloves too.
I have a thing for cloves!! 😉 I added those Craisins (dried cranberries) in at the last minute. I loved the color and that little bit of tartness it gave. So happy with my pick!! Nice to meet you, Corina!!
Mmmm, I can imagine the heavenly aroma that accompanied this dessert – cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg are scent of Autumn.
Truly wonderful!! Thanks for stopping my my page! <3
Great SRC choice Michaela! I just love apple crumble and always love adding cloves to my apple desserts.
I don’t know what it is, but where there is cinnamon and nutmeg, I think cloves just has to jump in! 😉 Thanks for stopping by, Cindy!
I am on-board with this recipe….and you are so right….I need to make something with apples to make me “feel” fall! Great SRC selection. Pinning….
Something about apples and September! 🙂
This is the PERFECT September recipe! Oh, how I love cinnamon! Can’t wait to try this one!
This looks absolutely delicious! Beautiful flavors and beautiful presentation 🙂 Just introduction to a new page too. Thanks Michaela! 🙂

The “dreary hits here tomorrow!! 🙁 Thanks for stopping by!
That looks absolutely perfect. I have apples in the fruit bowl right now that I think will be turned into this TOMORROW!! Great choice!
I can’t wait to go apple picking in 2 weeks to make apple recipes! Great SRC choice!

Thanks so much, Colleen!
Oh my – this looks fantastic! Perfect for fall and our apple tree is loaded this year 🙂 Great choice – I’m getting ready for fall foods!
I love Apple Crumble/Crisp – way better than apple pie, in my opinion. The individual servings makes it super fun. Well done!
I love that you added Craisins! Perfect with apples, I’m going to have to try that very soon.
I am always looking for new ways to use all the apples on our tree – this looks great!
