And the Winners are...

  
   I need to extend a big thank you to everyone who entered our giveaway by sharing the link on your facebook page!  I felt this book was extraordinary the first time I read it; my children echo my sentiments almost every night when they both reach for it at bedtime!  It gives me great pleasure to know two more households will get to experience the creative genius of Julia Donaldson and Axel Sheffler!











   Charlotte and Claudia were thrilled to each take a turn pulling a name out of a mixing bowl!  And the two winners of a copy of The Gruffalo are......

As a thank you for your support,
I leave you with this yummy recipe for "Gruffalo Crumble"!

(aka Apple Crumble)

 

 

 

Ingredients

4	cups peeled and diced apples
⅓	cup flour
1	teaspoon cornstarch
½	cup sugar
	Dash salt
1	teaspoon cinnamon
⅛	teaspoon grated nutmeg
	For the crumble
1¼	cups flour
½	cup sugar
½	teaspoon baking powder
	dash salt
½	teaspoon cinnamon
1	stick cold butter cut into small pieces
1	egg beaten with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla paste

Directions

Oven to 375.
Put the apples in a large bowl. Add in the flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix with a spoon to coat. Set aside.
In another bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles crumbs. In a small bowl beat the egg and the vanilla with a fork and add it into the mixture. Stir to incorporate.
Evenly divide the apples into 4 large baking dishes or 8 small ramekins If you want to make one big apple crumble, pour the apples into an 8×8 inch baking pan. Spread the crumb mixture over the apples and bake 35 – 45 minutes depending on what size baking dish(es) you are using. When a knife slides into the apples easily, you should be good to go! Place on a cooling rack or eat warm!!
