INGREDIENTS

Fruit Base

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 4 Granny Smith apples (about 1 lb 5 oz), peeled and chopped

  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup

  • Zest of ½ lemon

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup St. Dalfour Blueberry Fruit Spread

  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries (optional)

Custard-Soaked Brioche Topping

  • 2 thick slices brioche (about 3½ oz), cut into 1-inch cubes

  • ⅓ cup pouring custard

  • 1 large egg

Crumble Topping

  • ⅓ cup rolled oats

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp golden caster sugar (or granulated sugar)

  • 3½ tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

  • Pinch of salt

To Serve

  • Crème fraîche or Greek yogurt

  • Extra lemon zest

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, maple syrup, lemon zest, and vanilla. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften. Stir in the St. Dalfour Blueberry Fruit Spread until just combined. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and scatter the fresh blueberries on top, if using.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the custard and egg. Add the brioche cubes and gently toss to coat. Allow the brioche to soak for 2–3 minutes so it absorbs the custard mixture.

  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the custard-soaked brioche cubes evenly over the fruit mixture. Sprinkle the chilled crumble topping over the brioche. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

  5. Allow the crumble to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a spoonful of crème fraîche or Greek yogurt and a touch of lemon zest.
