An apple crumble that fits in the air fryer: apple pieces with cinnamon and a splash of Vinberg Verjus Fruity Mild, topped with a crunchy crumble of gluten-free oat flour and nut butter, served with sweetened quark. The verjus adds a delicate, fruity acidity that lemon would otherwise provide. The recipe is by Jana (@histameanly_heaven).
