Apple Crumble and Custard.

This Crumble recipe can be used for all sorts of fruit (peach, berry, pear etc).
I have cooked the fruit, either in a pot on a low heat or in the microwave, before putting the crumble into the oven. This just speeds up the cooking process.
Having hot Apple crumble with custard is a simple dessert worth waiting for.
