Layered Custard Crumble

This showstopper of a dessert is a delicious twist on one of our favourite puds, Apple Crumble & Custard. Instead of pouring the custard on, it’s baked as a layer of the crumble. Three layers of heaven!

Ingredients

Custard mix

  • 4 Eggs

  • 60g Caster Sugar

  • 215ml Whole Milk

  • 215ml Double Cream

  • 1 tsp Nutmeg

  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Crumble mix

  • 100g Porridge Oats

Apples

  • 1kg Cooking Apples

  • 2tbs Honey

  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 3.

  2. In a mixing bowl, mix together the ingredients for the custard base, pour the mixture into an oven proof dish and bake for 15 mins or until it’s firm with a wobble.

  3. Meanwhile peel and chop up the apples into slices, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon, then bake in the oven for 15 mins or until slightly softer.

  4. Mix all the ingredients for the crumble together, using your hands to gently rub together the mixture to form a crumb texture.

  5. Gently layer the cooked apple slices on top of the custard base, then finish by evenly sprinkling the crumble mixture on top of the apples.

  6. Bake in the oven for a further 15-20 mins or until the crumble topping is slightly golden and crisp. Enjoy!
