Apple and Pear Crumble with Custard

 

The classic British dessert of crumble is one of my all-time favourite sweet treats.

The ultimate comfort food, it’s perfect for these cold winter months and I love the fact that it’s super simple to make at home too.

I rustle up a big batch for the entire family – ensuring there’s always enough for seconds. Well, it would be rude not to, right?

The secret to an amazing crumble is choosing great quality ingredients.

Fruit that is packed full of flavour with natural sweetness that works wonderfully against the buttery crumble.

All of the ingredients for this crumble are from Iceland, using fruit from their ‘chilled and fresh’ aisles.

Hands-down one of the tastiest crumbles I’ve ever baked!
