Apple Crumble with Custard

So, after watching My Kitchen Rules, I got inspired by Mick & Matt to try out their apple crumble with custard recipe but I did not use berries and coconut as used by them.

Well, here's the recipe.

Ingredients
Crumble:
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp plain flour
30g butter
45g (1/2 cup) rolled oats

Fruit Filling:
4 large/6 small granny smith apples, peeled, core removed and cut into small pieces
60ml water
80g brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Custard:
300ml thickened cream
125ml (1/2 cup) milk
3 tsp vanilla essence
4 egg yolks
75g (1/3 cup) caster sugar

Procedures
1. Preheat oven to 180C.

2. To make crumble, combine sugar and flour in a bowl. Add in butter and using your fingertips, rub in the butter to form crumbs. When butter is well combined with the mixture, add in the rolled oats until well-combined.

3. To make fruit filling, put apple, water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring it occasionally, for 10 minutes or until apples are almost tender. Add in the cinnamon when sugar has completely melted.

4. Dish the fruit filling onto the baking tray and top with the crumble.

5. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.

6. To make custard, put cream, milk and vanilla essence in a pot over low heat and cook, stirring for 10 minutes or until almost boiling. Set aside the mixture for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture turns pale. Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the yolk mixture. Transfer the mixture into a clean pan and stirring it over medium-low heat for bout 10 minutes or until custard is thick enough.

7. Cut the apple crumble into your desire size and serve it with custard and vanilla ice cream.

Bad presentation =( Will try harder next time...

Enjoy the dessert. Hope you like it!
