Apricot Crumble Custard

Ingredients

Apricots

4 cups, pitted and sliced

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Butter

1/2 cup, melted

Rolled oats

1/2 cup

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Eggs

3 large

Milk

2 cups

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. 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.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, melted butter, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Spread the apricot mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the top of the apricots.
5. 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.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crumble topping is a beautiful golden brown.
7. 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.
