In The Underberg Fields of Gold

This was a mini vacay that was good for the soul…There’s something that majestic mountains and deep quiet do for a person that can only be matched by the constant rumble of rolling ocean waves. For me anyway, these are my top two sanity savers!

So last Sunday I headed north to the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, otherwise known as the Underberg. The little town of Underberg is so quaint, I just love it there – around every corner there is something pretty to take in.

Brown Butter Caramel Crumble Apple Pie

THIS is my take on an Irish Apple Pie….And I’ve chosen to call it Brown Butter Caramel Crumble Apple Pie because instead of covering the top of the pie with pastry I decided to make a brown butter caramel crumble! It’s crunchy butter and brown sugar nutty-caramel goodness all over the top of the pie…Mmmm mmm it’s so good!! It’s the absolute perfect addition to the layers of zingy, tart apple slices and cinnamon. You’re welcome.
