Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 medium granny smith apples cubed
  • 75 g brown sugar
  • 30 g butter
  • juice of a lemon
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 30 g caramel sauce

Crumble

  • 225 g flour
  • 165 g cold butter
  • 50 g sugar
  • 75 g brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Custard

  • 115 g sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 250 ml full fat milk
  • 2 tsps vanilla powder or 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Apple Filling

  • Chop the apples into equal sized pieces, add lemon juice and mix together. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the chopped apples, sugar, butter and cinnamon. Cook the apples on medium heat for about 5 minutes, until they slightly soften. Take it off heat and place in a baking dish and drizzle the caramel sauce on top.

Crumble

  • In a bowl mix together all the ingredients. With your hands rub in the butter and form clumps. Spread the clumps all over the apples, making sure that the fruit is all covered. Bake the crumble at 170°C for about 45 minutes or until all bubbly and golden.

Custard

  • In a saucepan add the milk and heat it. In another saucepan add the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla powder. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes pale yellow.
  • Gently add half the milk to the egg mixture, and mix. Then add the remaining milk, making sure that everything is well incorporated.
  • Return the mixture, and cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken. It's important to do not let it boil. Stir continuously until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Drizzle over the warm apple crumble.
