Apple Crumble and Custard.

An old classic.
Use Granny Smith apples if you can, these make a great crumble.
You could add extra ingredients into your crumble mix (nuts, bran, dried berries, chocolate etc) if you want.
Remember not to burn your custard. Stir it all the time!
Or you could use ice cream or whipped cream.
