Comment from Kate
Once of my favourite homemade desserts my mum used to make was apple crumble. I don’t think I have had it with condensed milk in though, from what I remember it was s simple case of stewed apples with sugar with a lovely crumple on top. It was great with custard or cream.

This recipe is quite extraordinary.  I have never had a crumble topping made from Ritz biscuits before and the strawberries, blueberries and nutella on top is a nice little extra.

I think this would be a little sweeter than my mum’s recipe but if you have s wet tooth then this would be a great frugal recipe idea.
