This week on 'The Anatomy of temptation' were making a delicious humble crumble. A
Crunchy apples surrendered in the heat, turning lush, syrupy and wet with sweet desire, laced with a dark whisper of cinnamon. The cover is a friction of cool butter, flour, and brown sugar, rubbed together and baked until it blushes deep gold. The final climax is a slow pouring of heavy cream, or melting custard that slips into every warm crevice, begging to be tasted together π
