About

We’ve been making these since The Parlour opened. Alison, a local artisan baker in Dundee, kindly shared this recipe with me years ago, and it’s incredibly easy, tasty and adaptable. If you have more apples than carrots, just vary the proportions (making sure that the total is about 3 cups), and while walnuts and pecans are my favourites, I’ve also used almonds with delicious results. You could substitute some toasted sunflower seeds and/or muesli as well.
