Ah, autumn in Quebec! A season when the leaves turn shades of gold and purple, when the air crisps and invites us to snuggle up indoors. And what better way to celebrate this season than with a recipe that evokes all its warmth and deliciousness? I present to you an apple crumble, a beloved classic, revisited with a Quebec twist: maple syrup. This recipe is a true ode to autumn flavors, combining the sweetness of baked apples, the crunchy texture of rolled oats, and the comforting aroma of maple sugar. A delight that I hope will warm you up on the cool evenings to come.
