Ingredients
- 12 granny smith apples, peeled, quartered, cored, and thickly sliced
- 1 ⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 ⁄4 tsp. ground cloves
- 16 tbsp. butter, cut into pieces
Preparation
Step 1
For the crumble: Preheat oven to 350º. Put apples and 1 cup water into a large, deep skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until some of the apples are very soft, 20-30 minutes. Stir in sugar and transfer to a large baking dish. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a large bowl. Work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, then spread over apples. Bake until golden, 40-45 minutes.
For the custard: Warm milk in a medium pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk sugar, butter, flour, and egg together in a large bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the milk into the sugar-flour mixture. Gradually add mixture back into the milk in the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until thick, 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla.
Serve crumble with some hot custard spooned on top.
