Crumble Tumble

Puzzle Notes
Greetings Subscribers,
My favorite dessert on earth is Apple Crumble. At this beautiful time of year, apples are the kings and queens of the farmers market: Jonagold, Macoun, Winesap, Acey Mac, Braeburn, Ginger Gold, Idared, Honeycrisp, RubyFrost and the galactic-sounding Zestar! It's tempting to experiment with re-interpretations of the recipe. But year after year, I keep returning to my tried-and-true Granny Smiths, whose tangy crispness offset the richness of the buttery "crumble." I love the foolproof-ness of the dish -- it's forgiving and will withstand a few extra minutes in the oven, or a heavy hand with the spices. Bubbly, spicy, fruity and slightly rich -- Apple Crumble makes one's tummy smile.
Today's puzzle was inspired by the season, crumbles and a bit of combined wordplay.
Welcome to Week 594 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to solve "Crumble Tumble" as your diversion of the week.
