Easy Apple Crumble That's Really Delicious

This was possibly one of the most delicious apple crumbles I have ever tasted.  Just the right amount of sweetness and those oates and cinnamon just round out the flavours to make this the ultimate comfort food. 

It really does nothing for the waistline but a girl's got to have a bit of pleasure in these trying times.

In my last post I was saying that the apples were a bit yucky in the box of fruit that I ordered online.  That was 2 weeks ago and we are still getting through it.    We generally go for Pink Ladies and these ones were nothing of the sort. The kids just refused to eat them.  But in these uncertain times financially we are turning over every cent so there was no way I was going to waste them.  Accordingly, I decided to make this Apple Crumble just to use them up.  Easy, on budget, a little bit healthy and just so yummy.  What's not to love?
