Is it a crumble? Is it bread and butter pudding? Who knows. All we know is it's delicious.

50g unsalted butter
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, chopped
1/2 cup (125ml) maple syrup
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
250g fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbs cornflour
1/2 cup (125ml) pouring custard
2 thick slices store-bought brioche
Pure (thin) cream, to serve

Crumble

30g rolled oats (we used Woolworths Macro)
60g plain flour
25g caster sugar
50g cold unsalted butter, chopped

Method

1.

For the crumble, place all the ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt and, using your hands, roughly rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Place in the freezer until ready to use.
2.

Place the butter, apple, maple, lemon zest, vanilla and half the blueberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until apple is tender.
3.

Transfer 1/3 cup (80ml) cooking liquid to a small bowl. Add cornflour and stir until smooth. Return to pan with remaining 125g blueberries and stir to combine. Pour into a 22cm ovenproof pan. Cool slightly.
4.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
5.

Place custard in a bowl and soak brioche for 30 seconds each side. Arrange over apple mixture. Scatter with crumble and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
6.

Cool slightly, then serve with cream.
