I love how you use the apple peels for tea. I also wanted to thank you for introducing me (us) to Africa Everyday. I have learned so much from you two gentlemen
We have always used like a oat mix for our crumble topping, same flour butter sugar thing, but it always gives it a bit more texture and interest, just how we prefer it
@@thaddansen2989 I am a Midwesterner through and through and I have never heard of Graham cracker crumbs in a crumble topping. For a crust, yes but not on top.
One thing I learned recently about custard powder is that it was a recipe invention Alfred Bird (Where the bird name comes from) created as a practical substitute for normal egg custard since Bird's wife was allergic to egg. It took a dinner party to convince him to put the recipe into public production. The original recipe he used turmeric, to give it that eggy colour. The recipe would turn out to be very popular in Asian countries, such as India, and generally within vegetarian communities.
My grandmother used to make a very tasty rhubarb crumble using oat and cornflakes in the crumble. As a nipper I used to really look forward to helping her by using a rolling pin to crush the cornflakes. My mouth is watering just remembering that.
Oh well that's ruined movie night... Instead of watching 'The Gentleman' the missus has ordered me out to Asda to buy apple crumble & custard . Cheers Mike 👍 🙄🍎🤣
i'd just like to comment and say i came across your channel by accident ( i think i was watching a fishing cook and catch from australia and your video came up as a suggestion), and its brilliant....... i'm working my way through them,....... because i'm a brit, i love the foraging vids, because its things i've seen and can relate to.... i really enjoy the limited budget vids, and suprisingly i got enthralled by the annoy the scammer vids.... top class mate.... you're a genuinely likeable bloke.... i wish you all the best with your youtube future...i think you're gonna do well.......
I used to love when our school had something called Apple Crisp at lunch. Basically this although without the custard. I have made custard before but used a double boiler setup to maintain the temp. It was part of a vanilla ice cream recipe when I bought an ice cream maker years ago. Very popular with the kids.
When growing up we had Blenheim Orange apple trees in our garden. They were a good eater, cooker & keeper. In my memory they were the nicest apples I ever tasted, & at their best at the very end of the keeping period, shrunken, wrinkly & sweet.
I know the idea of this series is to make basic versions of English meals that can be easily replicated in the rest of the world, so apples make sense, but I would have loved you to have made a crumble with gooseberries as they seem a little bit forgotten about these days. Great video as always, though :)
Gooseberry crumble is the best but ,as you say, they are a forgotten fruit. At one time, most people had a gooseberry bush in the garden ( that's where babies came from after all!)but now it's hard to find them even tinned.They also make a fantastic jam. I guess it's their unfriendly nature that makes gooseberries unpopular!
I often mix in oats with the crumble, I use eating apples and don't bother with adding sugar to the fruit unless I add something really sour like rhubarb
The only way I might be persuaded to eat rhubarb is sweetened in a crumble! It’s horrible, otherwise! When my eldest sister was in school, one day, they had rhubarb crumble and custard - if my sister had her way, she would have had just the crumble and custard - but some teacher decided to take the mickey and scraped all the crumble off and would not even let her have custard - she ended up with a bowlful of unsweetened rhubarb - just as well she’s not hypoglycaemic!
Fruit crumbles are pretty popular where I live (east coast Canada) but we don't normally have custard with it. We usually spice the crumble topping and use oats in it as well. And we serve it with vanilla ice cream
I didn't until a friend of mine told me about it. They had a bumper forage of chestnuts on year. Roasted them and pounded them into a flour. It's great with dessert type dishes where the kind of flour you use isn't too important. It just gives it a pleasant nuttiness.
I just wanted an opportunity to say this to you so I came to your most recent video to say it, but I have been watching/listening to a lot of your videos over the past few weeks and I have to say, you’re a real gem of a person, a stand up guy. Your voice is very soothing too, so that helps even more. You’ve completely and fully earned my sub, I hope you never stray from this wonderful path you have carved for yourself
"Holsteiner Cox" works very well in such recipes, if you're in northern Germany. Edit: the German variant is "Streuselkuchen", using larger loose crumbles on top of the fruit filling.
I make something very similar using fruit or pie filling, covering it with a yellow cake mix, pouring some melted butter on top of the mix and baking it. Very fruity and buttery!
ive always found blitzed oats (basically rice flour) to work really good for apple crumble, flour is easy to come by but we always have oats in the house
'Baking' - steaming my suet pudding now. I was inspired by your spotted Richard episode. It's applesauce and allspice, with mixed fruit and raspberry jam. 🤞
The two or three times I made crumble, a few decades ago, I added the sugar to the flour before adding the knobs of butter. It's all a long time ago, but I think it helped in cutting up the butter and hastened the crumbing
Crumble is one of my favour autumn deserts. I get PYO apples from a community orchard in my home city of Hull. My favour apple combination is half Bramley and half Cider Russets. Rhubarb is also in season at the moment.
I love your traditional British cooking videos. I think I watched How to Make Pickled Walnuts(all 3 installments) 3x. I don’t know why, I’m American and have never even heard of a pickled walnut before. But I find these types of videos comforting and now I want to eat them. Oh, and please can you give us an update on your dandelion mead. Completely intrigued and curious.
Aye, they're these big green things. Quite bitter to eat on their own but we'd normally chop them up and boil them down with sugar and turn it into a sauce to have with pork.
Wow you _really_ make me want to pick up cooking more regularly. I have been doing a little foraging, carefully, and your skill just making about anything from scratch seems even _more_ impressive now.
here in new england we have apple crisp. similar dish but it has a more streusel like topping with rolled oats (and barley in you're lucky) and no custard. I add dried cranberries, crumbled up pecans, fresh vanilla and a splash of rum, it's very good.
Love me a granny smith. Haven’t had one in a couple years or so. Thanks for the video as always. I love crisps, especially cherry and peach in that order hehe. Best wishes to you and Jenny, sorry If I spelled her name wrong.
In our family, we make fruit crumble (fruit crisp) with crabapples. Yup, a little more prep but very tart and tasty and very pretty colour. We have it with vanilla ice cream. Maybe we'll try it with custard next fall. 🇨🇦
Delicious. Reminds me of my grandmother, who made these classic desserts for us kids. She made "æblekage" (literally "applecake") which is very much like your crumble, only served with slightly sweetened whipped cream.
Thanks for using the metric system. Watch a lot of English channels and it‘s always a pain in the butt to convert everything to gramms, kilogramms, cm, etc. Makes my (baking/cooking) life much easier. Greetings from Austria
The English have used SI for half a century by now, so unless they’re making historical recipes the only English-speaking country that still uses pounds and pints is the USA.
Ok Boss… I’ve just made this and it’s cooling on the table just now. I was thinking… have you made this with rhubarb and other items? Is there anything you can forage and add for the filling? Would you consider doing another video with these? Also, lot’s of recipes use oats and other things in the crumble - thoughts on this?
Rhubarb crumble is my favourite crumble. It helps that rhubarb is easy to grow so is essentially free. My only problem with rhubarb is that you need so much more sugar than you do with other fruits. That said the other fruits bring sugar themselves so the end result is probably similar sugar content.
@@ragnkja True that. I need to lift mine as it's exhausted the ground where it's growing. I need to move it to a site that I've prepared with enriched soil, lots of organic material as it's a gross feeder. I find that, where I am (northern New Zealand) it does best with about 3 hours of direct sun a day in summer.
I have used Birds with added egg yolk to make American Banana Pudding,I preferred that to regular vanilla pudding.Americans would probably make a cobbler with ice cream rather than a crumble and custard
When I come to England, I may show up your house and ask you to make this.

Ooh! He could forage for them and then make it!
I didn't even know that was a thing
I didn't until a friend of mine told me about it. They had a bumper forage of chestnuts on year. Roasted them and pounded them into a flour. It's great with dessert type dishes where the kind of flour you use isn't too important. It just gives it a pleasant nuttiness.
I normally put a tiny bit of flour in with the water and apples just to get a bit of a thicker 'sauce' in the pie. Makes serving it easier.
I use corn starch.
Crimble crumble RIP Paul ritter, I use to go grab apple picking with my gran when she was making one but for me rubbarb crumble is the king
Rhubarb crumble is the best, but I guess rhubarb might be hard to get hold of or even completely unknown outside of the UK. I don't know.

Thank you for this, must try this for the autumn season!
I’m gonna follow this recipe immediately

For apple skins I quite often use them to make a jelly. I never thought to make an apple tea. Thank you

Trying to peel an apple with a knife when you have a peeler right there is the perfect microcasm of this channel.

There's actually cooking apples in England? Wow I didn't expect that, it sounds awesome!
Aye, they're these big green things. Quite bitter to eat on their own but we'd normally chop them up and boil them down with sugar and turn it into a sauce to have with pork.
They're called Bramley apples. They're pretty big, maybe 2-3x the size of a regular apple.
England, I understand has 3 categories of apple: Cooking, Eating, and Cider
Yum! Apple cobbler is a favorite of mine, this looks very similar.
Can you give more budget recipes like the bread? The bread is my favorite baking thing
I too like a deep crumble layer! Not yet noon and you're making my mouth water! 😆
