This was pretty darn good, but it uses an awful lot of butter and, I agree, there's a bit too much crumble. I also added a little cinnamon to the crust, and used brown sugar in the crumble. The custard powder was a nice touch, and I found it, of all places, at the local 99 Cents Only store. For only 99 cents! Finally, I overcooked my apples, so start watching them about halfway through to make sure you don't get applesauce. Overall, very nice!

Thank you. Very good recipe. Added a dash of cloves and nutmeg to apples too. And good grief folks, before you review - look up custard powder on the www, that's why you have it! There are other ingredients than just what you find in the US in the rest of the world...surprise!

Interesting crumble recipe and very, very good even without coconut (allergic to it). As other reviewers noted, there is too much crummble and also sugar in it could be reduced. Birds custard works well and usually available at speciality shops.

I used the recipe for the crumble only, and it was delicious! I just cooked 4 red delicious and 4 granny smith apples (peeled) in a saucepan with white sugar, cinnimon, nutmeg, and clove, a little butter and a little flour until apples were soft. Spooned it into a baking pan, sprinkled the crumble on top, followed the rest of the directions, and voila! - a very YUMMY recipe. By the way, my hubby is Australian, and although he's never had crumble like this, he did devour it in 24 hours!!!

I made this yesterday, it was delicious, i would'nt change anything in the recipe, it was perfect. My husband loved it to, and he's not a big fan of desserts.

Best Apple Crumble - nomen est omen. It really crumbles, but tastes great! The coconut flakes add an extra twist.

I found that I ended up with waaay too much crust and crumble, which was a shame. The end product tasted good, but I'd say it's a pretty average crumble.

You do not need the crust for this recipe- it is easily omitted. It is however delicious, and the crumble is the crowning delight. The coconut and rolled oats may nto sound that enticing but it truely bakes together to make the most delicious crumble ever! I will make this again.
