Creator Notes

I need to restful warn you, that I love apricots on the tart aspect. So, feel free to make employ of extra sugar (up to 150g, or 100g sugar and 50g honey). Additionally, it is in point of fact helpful as a design to add nuts reasonably than oats in your crumb topping. I judge it may perhaps very smartly be a appropriate suggestion. Subsequent time I’ll be aware to discontinue so! —Katya Moskalenko
