If you become bored of making crumble all the time with your apples, a change: apple pie. This is quite a savoury recipe, but feel free to add as much sugar and spice as you want! 
Original called for pastry all the way over the top, but (1) student cooking meant the dish used for the pie wasn’t ideal, and (2) I thought that would make it a bit pastry-heavy.

Not just for Christmas!
Well, actually, they maybe are.
But it’s never too late to practice / blog about something you did months ago 
Shop-bought ones never taste quite as good as the home-made sort. Even if it’s a case of rolling out some shortcrust pastry and plopping in some store-bought mincemeat, they’ll be better… I didn’t have any pastry, so went one-up in the making stage and made my own. It’s really simple, actually.
