3 September 2020 - Simple Yum Apple Crumble + Custard
I made this recipe up from whatever was in our pantry.
Apple Crumble:
Chop 4 apples into 8ths, half fill a saucepan/pot with water and about half to 1 cup of sugar and slowly boil the apples for about 5 minutes
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer until the water starts to evaporate
The apples will start to candy with the sugar, for about an hour
Take 4 crumbled Weetbix in a mixing bowl with about 100g of chopped soft butter with sugar - about a table spoon. Crush all together
Once apples are ready and water has evaporated, place in a baking tray and put the crumble on top
Cook in the oven until crispy brown top at 160 to 180 degrees celsius
Custard:
Seperate 4 egg yolks
Add about 3 tablespoons of cornflour
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Add sugar to taste say 1 tablespoons
Mix the above until they are a bright yellow stiff paste
In a seperate pot, bring to the boil 2 cups of milk, I also added butter to make it creamier and used milk powder plus water instead of milk. You can use cream if you have it.
Once boiled and frothy, slowly start adding and stirring into the yellow paste above, little by little to avoid the lumps
Yum - heaps of butter, sugar, but hey it feels nice when you're feeling pohara or hard in saving mode.
