Gifts from Grandpa is my NEW recipe book – out NOW and available to buy on Amazon for only £19.99. Plus £1 from the sale of each book will go to Crisis the homeless charity.
So here’s one I made earlier, a lot earlier in fact. Easy Apple and Blueberry Bake is one of the first recipes I made for my blog. So I thought I would show you how to make this delicious dessert in a video on my NEW YouTube channel, Googie’s Kitchen. Below is the video and recipe too.
My Apple and Blueberry Bake is a great dessert or breakfast. It is very tasty hot or cold and can be served with my Raspberry, Vanilla and Coconut ice cream or with a coconut and maple syrup cream. Whatever way you decide to try it, we hope you enjoy.
