A comforting dessert with warm spices and a golden, buttery topping.
With its crisp, golden topping and tender, sweet apples, this crumble is the quintessential autumn dessert. A whisper of nutmeg adds an exotic, warming
note—a tribute to Portugal’s 15th-century spice voyages and a subtle nod to the country’s rich culinary heritage.
