My sister and I pinched a good idea today

Today my sister and I did something we wouldn't have dreamt of doing a week ago.

We put small chunks of dark chocolate in the apple crumble's topping.  (No, I don't have pictures!)  And while that may sound like an extravagant thing to do, we have a large apple tree in our back garden.  This apple tree drops lots of apples at this time of year, and so we eat lots of apple crumbles.  Crumbles are quick to make, but they can get boring after a while, so any new twist on them is appreciated in this house.

Anyway, it tasted very nice.  I'll note that we added the chocolate to a topping with oats in, rather than a simple topping of flour, sugar, and butter.  Oaty toppings are nice; with chocolate, even more so.

I have to say that it wasn't our idea, though—we saw a recipe for crumble topping with chocolate bits in it in a free magazine from a supermarket, and thought we'd try it.  I know, I know:  we really should get creative with crumble toppings by thinking of our own ideas and not pinching someone else's, but it's far too easy to continue to make the same thing day in, day out if we do that.
