Who doesn’t love warm, just out of the oven, sweet smelling apple crumble topped with delicious, creamy custard. I love the simplicity of this dessert and the fact that you can make it as sweet as you like or not at all. There are so many delicious apples around right now and I can’t get enough of them.
If you use very sweet types of apples such as Gala or Fuji you will only need a small amount of sugar if any at all! To make this recipe refined sugar free use maple syrup or honey.
I love my apple crumble with a custard but it is just as good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Coconut yoghurt would also work great! Apples are the stars of this recipe and combined with cinnamon, this is a proper winter warmer!
I love using my cast iron dish whenever possible but any oven proof dish is fine.
Use seasonal apples and make this much loved dessert this weekend!
