Day one - Recipe one -

Today is day 1. I did start a little late today, so when I finally did want to start I figgured I don't have any ice-cream.

I was planning on making Apple Crumble Sundae. I'm going to give you the recipe now and cook it tomorow. I'll tell you about the result as soon as I finish. So here goes, the recipe for Apple Crumble Sundae:

Method:

3.Meanwhile, place the apples, sugar and lemon juice in a medium pan. Cover and cook over a gentle heat for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tasty twist: Serve warm with ice cream to get a deliciously different dessert.
