Next week is a big week for me, and for you my readers! You’ll be seeing a new look for the blog and also the release of the next issue of Foodie Crush!

I’m busy putting the final touches on the magazine so today’s post will be short but sweet. Mmmm, sweet.

Recipe Apple Blueberry Crumble with Pecans

And it all starts with the fact that I am on a crumble kick.

It’s always been one of my favorite things to eat, but we called it Apple Crisp. We didn’t have after dinner desserts at home so my love for the crisp/crumble probably stems from elementary school lunches where the lunch ladies served food that never dared touch thanks to the ridged boundaries of the school trays. But that hardly mattered because there was always a dessert served with our flying saucers.

What? You know not of the flying saucer? It was the ultimate gourmet lunch for an 9-year-old: a slice of broiled bologna, a dollop of mashed potatoes with a slice of yellow cheese melted over the top. And it was my FAVORITE. Next to the crumble. Maybe the flying saucer should make a blog appearance some other day.

Recipe Apple Blueberry Crumble from Foodie Crush

The thing I love about crumbles is its all of the delicious elements of an oatmeal cookie but it comes out crunchy over a fruity base and is all kinds of wonderful. And like my mom’s fudge, it’s the perfect bite for dessert AND breakfast!

The thing I like best about this recipe is the addition of two things: lemon to the fruit for a little zing and pecans to the crumble so I can con myself into thinking this is a healthy way to start my day. And it’s deceptively easy. Oh so easy.

    I tried this today and it was great. I did have to add about 1/4 cup more oats to get enough coverage for my fruit. My gala apples were super sweet so I think if you used Granny Smiths you could keep the sugar amount as is or else I would reduce to 1/4 cup white sugar. Will make again, thanks!

    I’m that person who takes a serving of crumble topping only. ..oh and ice cream – which should be standard issue with any crumble right? :) Looks amazing but you know how I am about warm fruit.

    Love the addition of pecans to the topping, anything that makes me think I’m eating a healthy dessert is a-okay in my book. So excited for next week too!!
