Canadian apple crumble


Canadian apple crumble
The classic apple crumble is given a Canadian twist here: rolled oats in the topping and a drizzle of maple syrup over the apples.

These two small changes make the flavour very distinctive and very, well... Canadian.

Remarks
As the crumble is already plenty sweet enough, with the addition of maple syrup, you can easily reduce the amount of sugar without drastically affecting the result.

Likewise, it's best to choose a fairly tart variety of apple: a good cooking apple, like Bramley, or one of the more acidic eaters, such as Cox or a russet.
Keeping: A day or two in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Macarons (the original French macaroons)
This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...
