Apple and Pear Crumble

For the past few months we have been ordering an organic fruit and veg box. Every Thursday we receive a huge crate locally grown, seasonal fruit and veg. The fun part is that we never know what we're going to get. Last week's box included a whole red cabbage and a giant turnip - not items that I would normally choose to buy! It has been a real test of our collective cooking skills to use up all the produce each week before the next box arrives. I will continue to share some of the better recipes that have resulted from our organic adventures.
