Moroccan-Spiced Apple Crumble | Carla Saves January

January is bleak. Everyone agrees. So Carla Hall shows up with the only reasonable solution: dessert.
In this episode of Chewed Up, Carla makes a Moroccan-inspired apple and date crumble infused with cinnamon and cardamom — warm, fragrant, and unapologetically comforting. The trio talks winter survival strategies, the magic of dates (including a brief detour through Indiana Jones), and why crumbles are the most forgiving dessert in existence.
The conversation drifts from food into culture, aging, and appearance — including a thoughtful, candid discussion about gray hair, confidence, and why women shouldn’t have to negotiate their looks to exist professionally. It’s funny, real, occasionally chaotic, and anchored by a dessert that quietly steals the show.
This is Chewed Up at its best: cozy food, sharp opinions, and zero interest in pretending January is fine.
