I have combined a Quirky Cooking recipe and Bron's Apple Crumble recipe (from the forum here) to make this yummy crumble.
Ingredients:
Topping:
50g hazelnuts
100g spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 thin strips of lemon and/or orange zest (thinly peeled, no white)
100g cold butter - in small pieces
80g rapadura
Custard:
60g rapadura
2 eggs
500g non-homogenised milk
40g cornflour
Fruit Base
4 apples peeled and sliced
1-2 cups frozen berries (we used blackberries)
2 tbsp rapadura
1 tsp cinnamon
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Make the topping first be placing the hazelnuts into TMX bowl and chopping them for 7 seconds on speed 5. Set aside.
Place flour and lemon zest strips into bowl and blitz for 15 seconds on speed 9 (check zest and blitz for longer if necessary to become very fine).
Add butter,rapadura and nuts and mix for 5 seconds on reverse speed 5. Set aside.
To make custard place rapadura into the bowl and blitz for 10 seconds on speed 9. Add other custard ingredients and program 7 minutes, 90 degrees on speed 4.
While the custard is cooking peel and slice the apples and place them in a pudding dish with the berries. Sprinkle over the rapadura and cinnamon and stir well.
When the custard has finished cooking pour it over the fruit. Sprinkle over the topping and pat it down so that it will form a crust.
Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Wonder - Made this tonight in 7 individual serves. I did half with only apple and half with apple and berries. We all enjoyed them and apple crumble loving DS was happy to eat them but I think he would prefer traditional apple crumble with separate custard. I will definitely make again and glad I thought to do them in individual serves, I think I will do all our crumbles this way so I can tailor the fruits to individual tastes.
