Easy Apple Crumble

This easy apple crumble requires only 4 ingredients. Plus, it's got fruit, so that means it's healthy, right ?!

Once upon a time, I hated cooked fruit. As long as the fruit in the dessert wasn't actually baked with the dessert, I was okay, but things like warm apple cake or apple tart ? Blegh.
Then one day I decided to get over my fear of warm fruit because there was an apple crumble in the oven and it made the house smell wonderful. I tried it, and ever since then, I can actually tolerate cooked fruits in desserts.

Random cravings are weird. I saw the box of rolled oats in the baking cupboard and instantly wanted applesauce oatmeal squares.

And another recipe from Northern France ! After tarte au sucre and coquille de Noël, let me introduce you to palets de dame.
These cookies, just like tarte au sucre, are linked to my childhood. I remember the exact taste that the palets de dame we bought (from the same bakery we bought tarte au sucre from) had. I read a lot of recipes, before finding this one. Some had ground almonds, some said to spread a layer of apricot preserves between the cookie and the icing. I don't remember the ones I ate as a child to have had an apricot preserves layer, so I didn't write those down.
