Apple Crumble with Vanilla Custard

By Šárka Hubáček 2 Comments

Who wouldn’t love crumble? It’s so easy but delicious dessert. Apples are actually not one of my favourite fruit. For a snack I prefer mango, berries, even pear. But when it comes to baking, almost nothing can beat apples. Pies, tarts, tartlets, cakes, even spicy cooked apples are great stuff (I’ll add this recipe later). And so many flavours are going well with apples: cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, anise, chocolate, whipped cream, lemon, … Baked apples are just yummy. Go for them.

Getting ready

Crumble comes from the Great Britain and Ireland. It’s said that it originated during the World War II when people had so little ingredients, they couldn’t make pie. So they make a crumb (because of the war it included a margarine – there’s no war anymore, use a butter please!)

Getting ready

Just eat it

This vanilla custard can be eaten with anything. A crumble, some fresh fruit, cookies, or just like that. Vanilla pod is way better than extract but if you don’t have one, don’t worry and make it anyway.
