Anything which reminds me of typically Scandinavian winter flavours – with lots of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and ginger – combined with Coconut (one of my favourite foods) – has got my mouth watering in an instant. And when it´s healthy too? Well, it´s pretty much a winner in my eyes. Hence why I just had to share with you one of my go-to sweet dishes during winter, with this delicious Apple & Coconut Crumble. I am obsessed, and hope you will be too.
