Ingredients:
FOR THE CRUMBLE:

12 granny smith apples, peeled, quartered, cored, and thickly sliced
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
8 tbsp. butter, cut into pieces

FOR THE CUSTARD:

2-1/3 cups milk
1/4 Cup sugar
4 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. For the crumble: Preheat oven to 350°. Put apples and 1 cup water into a large, deep skillet arid cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until some of the apples are very soft, 20-30 minutes. Stir in sugar and transfer to a large baking dish. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a large bowl. Work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, then spread over apples. Bake until golden, 40-45 minutes.

2. For the custard: Warm milk in a medium pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk sugar, butter, flour, and egg together in a large bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the milk into the sugar-flour mixruse. Gradually add mixture back into the milk in the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until thick, 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla.

3. Serve crumble with some hot custard spooned on top.
