Apple & Berry Crumble Orange Custard
Ingredients
Method
Apple Berry Mixture
- In a medium (about 2 litre capacity) oven-proof lidded frying pan, combine the butter and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until melted and combined. Add the chopped apple and toss well to coat. Cover with the lid and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Toss through the mixed berries.
Crumble Topping
- Preheat oven to 200°C/185°C fan forced. Place the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until large clumps form. Scatter over the berry mixture to evenly coat.
- Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes or until top is golden and juice is bubbling.
- While the crumble is cooking, make the zesty orange custard.
Zesty Orange Custard
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add almost all the orange zest (reserving a small amount to garnish) and stir to combine. Bring to just before boiling point and turn off heat.
- Place the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a large heat-proof bowl. Use a balloon whisk to whisk until pale and creamy. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until combined and smooth. Return to the saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes or until custard is thickened and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Serve the crumble with the orange custard and sprinkled with reserved orange zest.

Forgotten to soften the butter?
Grate butter coarsely, spread onto baking paper and stand for 10 minutes before using. Alternatively chop into 2cm cubes, microwave on 30% power in 10 second bursts until just softened.
