Spoonie Notes:
  • Pre-chop apples when you have spoons, and toss them in the freezer..
  • Make crumble topping in advance, freeze in a bag, sprinkle straight onto fruit later.
  • Leave the skins on the apples. Less work.
  • Want to sprinkle in some chopped nuts? Buy pre-chopped, or chop when you have the spoons and store in an airtight container for later use.
