*Mouth watering* I can almost smell it from here Vee70 . I have never seriously taken up baking. May be it's something I can try now. Thanks for sharing. xx 😊

[Vee70 in reply to Caspiana]

Thankyou, maybe you should give it a go. I find it very relaxing, i am a qualified chef but baking is my favourite.

Have a go 😀

Omg is there any left, be round shortly ha! I love cooking but never been very good at baking, looking at this I may have to give it another go mmm

[Vee70 in reply to Izb1]

Haha! It’s so easy to make. Recipe is on bbc goodfood x

[Ergendl]

I'd be round like a shot but suspect it's already gone.

Looks yummy Vee. I love the smells of baking. I'm in the middle of making a birthday cake - made the sponge last night- I find it relaxing too even when my 4 year old granddaughter decided she wants to bake - we make dairyfree gingerbread and cupcakes- last week she decided she wanted to do her own recipe and half the ingredients of the kitchen went in however it was quite edible. x

[Vee70 in reply to watergazer]

Have fun with the baking, nothing better to take our minds off things 😊 x

[Margaret_craft]

That looks scrumptious Vee, I'm salivating. I would love a slice. Will you send me the recipe please. 🍏🍏 xx

[Vee70 in reply to Margaret_craft]

There is something so therapeutic about baking! I love the Great British Bake Off on Channel 4! Just seeing the tent and hearing the music instantly destresses me! Only problem is,I have to eat it all!!😀

[Vee70 in reply to Aingeful]

Hi, me too, i love cooking/baking but no patience for all the fiddly decorating bit!! 😀

[Corin1950]

I made it too! By chance I was peeling a stack of Bramleys from our tree and watching This Morning on TV and I saw John Torode making it so I looked up the quantities and made it. I left out the cinnamon and nutmeg as my husband doesn't like those spices but put in a few more pieces if apple and it still tasted wonderful. I made 3 crumbles with the rest.

The recipe uses 2 Granny Smiths and 1 Bramley but I used all Bramleys and it was still nice and sweet.

Happy baking

Corin
