Method to make Nadiya’s Flapjack Apple Crumble

  1. Make sure your oven is preheated to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.
  2. Put the oats onto a baking tray and place in the oven. Toast them for about 10-15 minutes then remove.
  3. Put 125g/4½oz butter into a pan and add the Lyle’s Golden Syrup and muscovado sugar. Heat until the sugar has completely dissolved without any of it being left at the bottom of the pan.
  4. Put the now-toasted oats into a bowl and add the syrup mixture and mix together well.
  5. Peel and then cut the Granny Smith apples into chunks.
  6. Put the now-chopped apples into a small saucepan and add 40g/1½ oz butter, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1-2 tablespoons of muscovado sugar. Cook on a low heat until the apples are moist and soft.
  7. Add the raisins and corn flour and mix everything together, making sure the corn flour does not go lumpy.
  8. Put the cooked apple mixture into an oven-proof bowl and add your flapjack crumble on top, pressing it down and making sure it touches all the sides of the bowl.
  9. Put the flapjack apple crumble into the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  10. Make the custard by mixing together 600ml/1 pint of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla bean extract, 4 egg yolks, 20g/¾oz of caster sugar and 2 teaspoons of cornflour and cook over a low heat until a custard consistency.
  11. Scoop out portions of your flapjack apple crumble mixture into bowls and add the steaming hot custard on top. Yum. Yum. Yum.
