Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots and granulated sugar. Toss gently to ensure the apricots are well coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, melted butter, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the apricot mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the top of the apricots.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour this custard mixture evenly over the apricots and crumble, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crumble topping is a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding a handful of chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) to the crumble topping for added crunch.
- You can substitute peaches or plums for apricots if desired, or mix different fruits for a unique flavor.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
