Finishing a Sunday roast dinner with a bowl of warming apple crumble and custard is a long-standing British tradition and James Martin's recipe promises even more fruit.
The autumn desert is made of tasty apples, topped of with a crunchy crumble and usually paired with a creamy custard. The celebrity chef's take incorporates tangy pears which are currently in season, so now is the time to give it a try.
Even better, it requires just six affordable ingredients and can be made a couple of days ahead of a meal so it just needs some heating up. To top it off, Martin has also shared his own homemade custard recipe for an extra comforting layer.
Alongside the recipe on his website, Martin wrote: “With colder days fast approaching an autumnal desert is just the ticket! What could be better than Apple and Pear Crumble with homemade custard? It's a perma favourite for a reason!”
If this gets your mouth watering, then read on for a full ingredient list and step-by-step cooking method, as reported by The Express.
(Serves six to eight people)
For the filling
For the crumble
Shop-bought custard can be used as a sweet topping for this dessert, or use James’s recipe below for a homemade version:
Like all good crumbles, a hot oven is essential for this dish, so start by preheating the appliance to 180C.
To make the filling place the chopped fruit into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over 50g of the demerara sugar.
In a separate bowl, mix the butter, flour and 200g of demerara sugar together between the fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle over the dish of prepared fruit and sugar, then bake for 45 minutes.
To make the custard, put the milk and cream in a pan with a vanilla pod and its seeds and warm gently through.

Leonardo DiCaprio‘s “endless” ad-libs in Killers Of The Flower Moon left Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro “rolling their eyes”, according to the director.Scorsese’s 26th film is based on the true story of the murder of more than 60 Native Americans in 1920s Oklahoma and stars De Niro and DiCaprio as an uncle and nephew plotting to steal the oil underneath the tribe’s land.DiCaprio is renowed for improvising his lines in films, but while filming the period piece, the actor apparently tested the patience of his co-star and director.His improvisations were “endless, endless, endless”, Scorsese told The Telegraph, while “Bob [De Niro] didn’t want to talk.”The 80-year-old director, who has made multiple films with both actors, said: “Every now and then, Bob and I would look at each other and roll our eyes a little bit. And we’d tell [DiCaprio]: ‘You don’t need that dialogue.’”This comes after Scorsese recently revealed that DiCaprio asked for a major overhaul of the film’s script two years into the writing process.While the film ended up being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t the original plan.

Martin Scorsese was two years into writing the script for Killers Of The Flower Moon when Leonardo DiCaprio requested an overhaul, the filmmaker has revealed.Speaking to The Irish Times, Scorsese revealed that he had been working on the upcoming true crime film’s script for two years when Leonardo DiCaprio read it and asked for it to be reworked.Killers Of The Flower Moon is based on a series of murders in the Osage tribe in 1920s Oklahoma and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone and Brendan Fraser.While the film is now being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t always the case. According to Scorsese, the film’s original script was told “from the point of view of the bureau agents coming in to investigate”, which prompted DiCaprio’s issue with the script.Scorsese explained: “Leo came to me and asked, ‘Where is the heart of this story?’ I had had meetings and dinners with the Osage, and I thought, Well, there’s the story.
