Desserts do not have to be fancy. Only delicious. And what could be more delicious than apples and strawberries topped with a crumbly, sweet vanilla topping? This is the perfect summer recipe. Quick to prepare, very little effort and perfect served with a generous serving of ice cream.
Strawberries are in season right now and at their very best. If you have some fresh and juicy strawberries than you can check out my No-Bake Vanilla and Strawberry Cheesecake recipe or my delicious Strawberry Shortcake Cake. However, if you would like a more simple and easy to prepare dessert, then this is perfect. It can also be made using frozen berries so does not need to be confined just to the summer. And of course it would be fantastic with raspberries or blackberries.
I do not add any additional sugar to the fruit as I find it sweet enough, however, if you prefer a sweeter dessert or if your strawberries are a bit tart then go ahead and sprinkle on a little sugar to taste. This does make a large pudding, enough for 8 servings, so to make a smaller portion it can be easily scaled down by halving all the ingredients.
In the recipe I have called for a mix of apple and strawberries and have not specified individual amounts as for me, it depends on what I have in the fridge. I tend to use more strawberries as they cook down more but really use what you have, it will be delicious no matter what!
