Measure out 3/4 cup of milk from the total quantity (1/2 ltr) and mix with the custard powder. Boil the rest of the milk with the sugar. Once it boils, add custard mix and gently stir. Cook on the lowest flame for 5 mins, until the mixture thickens. Remove from fire.
Once the mixture is cooled completely, add cream and beat well until the mixture is thick and creamy. Chill until required.
To make the filling:
Combine all the ingredients for the fruit filling in a wide pan. Bring it to boil and simmer and cook till the apples are done. Let it cool.
To make the crumble:
Melt butter in a wide pan. Add the rest of the crumble ingredients, except sugar. Cook on low-medium flame, until it browns nicely and becomes crunchy. Once the mixture cools down, add sugar and mix well.
To make the topping
Whip the cream with sugar, until soft peak forms. Chill until required.
Assembling:
Take individual serving bowls (around 6 medium size bowls).
The first layer is the fruit filling, followed by the custard (refer notes). Top it with crumble and repeat the layers. The final layer is whipped cream. Sprinkle some crumble on top. Chill for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Notes
You can use pineapple instead of apple. You will need 1 big pineapple for this recipe.I used gala apples for this recipe.Instead of Whipping Cream, you can use regular Amul cream too.I used a pastry bag while layering the custard.You can use Nice biscuits/digestives instead of Goodday biscuits. The dessert keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
