OK, you got this person from the United States running to Google again. So, your custard apples are called cherimoya here and they go for $7 or $8 each (our dollar is almost 1 to 1 exchange rate to ours) which is very expensive for a fruit. Not a local delight which is too bad because I've never had one. Sigh....
ReplyDeleteEeek tha is rather expensive :(
DeleteI should have put their US name on the post! Sorry.
Bookworm this will work just as nice with all green apples - just replace the custard apples with ordinary green apples and mayeb just have a custard apple as a treat for you XX
The recipe sounds wonderful. I recal the taste and texture of the custard apple from thirty years ago. Unfortunately, I've never seen it over here in England.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't find them you can make it with ordinary green apples Francene :) Not quite the same but still really nice XX
DeleteOh yum! I love crumble and I think it would be delish with custard apple(my little one's fave fruity treat!). Have to try this one. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is really lovely!
DeleteMy two kids loved it.
Thanks so much XX

This looks lovely, and I appreciate the introduction to custard apples, though it doesn't sound as if I'll ever eat one! Maybe I'll just plant a tree, if I can find one! ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are so nice in this AmyG and really worth giving a go too!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting

Hello there, I love custard apples but haven't eaten one for ages. And have never ever thought of cooking with them. Love to learn new things, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading and comenting Seana!

This sounds great! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Robyn!
DeleteNever a real fan of custard apples - but this recipe looks delicious!
ReplyDeletexx
Thank you!!!
DeleteThey are not a strong flavour in this dish at all, so a great recipe if you find yourself with some or even just with normal apples if you like too x :)
sounds yum - is coconut sugar available at IGA's or where can you get it? that is one ingredient i have not seen anywhere.
ReplyDeleteEverything here is from my local Maleny IGA so I am guessing most would stock it? Or would be able to get it in for you, mind you my local IGA is amazing and has the best product range :) X
DeleteYou had me at custard and apples. Looks delicious! -Aroha (#teamIBOT)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! XX
DeleteOh my, yum - apple desserts are my absolute favorite, and I love the addition of coconut flavors in this one! Also love all the healthy ingredients you've managed to sneak in! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jen!
DeleteThis one brings back some memories. Apple crumble was one of my favourite deserts Mum would make on occasion. I still love it now, even more then apple pie!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a great old family favourite isnt it!
DeleteI love apple crumble, but very rarely make it. Actually I don't make much of anything these days. :(
ReplyDeleteNever thought of using custard apples with it.
They give it a really nice modern twist :)
DeleteMmmm.... apples, oats, cinnamon... a great combo! I could eat this for breakfast as well as dessert!
ReplyDeleteDon't they just go together XX
