Instructions

Main Batter
  • Heat the oven to 225 °C.
  • Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Mix in butter (in pieces) until a gritty texture is formed.
Filling
  • Peel, deseed and slice the apples into thin slices, and mix them with sugar and cinnamon in an ovenproof dish. Spread the butter mixture over the filling.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 15–20 minutes.
Classic custard
  • Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a saucepan. Add the vanilla pod. Add milk and ​​1 cup (250ml) of cream. Cook on a medium heat. Take off the heat and leave for 10–15 minutes.
  • Pick out the vanilla pod.
  • Beat egg yolks, sugar, and potato flour. Heat the sauce to medium heat while stirring until it begins to thicken.
  • Pour the sauce into a bowl and whisk it cold.
  • Add in the rest of the cream, stirring it into the cold custard.
Enjoy!
Tip

Opt for firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. They are known for holding their shape very well when cooked and provide a nice sweetness.

Tip

Use cold butter when incorporating it into the mixture. This makes for a flakier texture and ensures the crumble holds its shape during baking.

Tip

Allow the dessert to rest for a few minutes before serving it to your guests. That way, the filling has time to set, making it easier to serve.

Sweet apple filling with a hint of warm cinnamon

Let us shine a spotlight on the sweet apple filling with a hint of warm cinnamon. As you take a bite of the apple crumble, you find your senses enveloped by the comforting sweetness of the apples. They boast a natural juiciness that expands into the whole dish, while the small amount of cinnamon imbues every mouthful with a warm, comforting feel.

A crisp golden topping

The apple crumble takes pride in its crispy, crumbly topping that helps bring the crumble alive with its irresistible crunch and sweet, buttery richness. The contrast in consistency elevates the apple crumble to another level, mixing the soft and juicy with the crispy and crunchy.

Serve with homemade vanilla custard

Serve a lovely homemade vanilla custard with the apple crumble. The creamy custard has long been a staple in the dessert kitchen, with its silky-smooth texture and rich flavours. Vanilla custard is a great choice for adding an extra level of decadence to an already delectable dish. It is the perfect way to give the crumble a final flourish.

A tasty dessert for the whole family

Gather family and friends around the table or cosy up on the couch with the apple crumble. The warm hug from the cinnamon and the sweet, indulgent flavours make for a treat easily served at festive holiday gatherings and casual weeknight dinners. It is the kind of dessert that brings people together, turning every bite into a new memory.

Give the recipe a personal twist

For all the creative culinary people out there, we completely understand the urge to experiment and personalise recipes.

Feel free to incorporate juicy blueberries or blackberries into the apple crumble. The blueberry and the blackberry will add a vibrant sweetness and beautiful dark-red colours that make the crumble a sight to behold. Rhubarb works just as well by offering a pronounced tartness that complements the sweet and rich custard.

For more texture along with a subtle nutty flavour, we suggest adding oats to the topping before baking the crumble in the oven.
