FRUIT SEASON! (Well, at least here in Ontario.)
What better way to make use of all that fruit than in a quick and easy crumble? This recipe really lets the fruits shine with very little added sweetener (just some agave/maple syrup).
While we are so sad that fall is coming, we do love this time of the year when there is so much fresh local fruit and vegetables! It's kind of like Christmas for vegheads :) We hope you will enjoy this recipe - let us know if you try it out for yourselves and if you switch it up in any way!
