- Mm, mm,
this is a contender.
(jaunty music)
Hello, I'm Ann.
I'm a mum, and today I'm gonna be trying
other mums' apple crumbles.
- I love crumble because it's so comforting,
and it's got the cooked apple on the bottom.
The apples got cinnamon.
Real comfort food.
- My family love my apple crumble.
Some of them like cinnamon in it and nutmeg,
and orange grind in it.
Every single one of them love my apple crumble.
- I think apple crumble, the simpler the better really.
I was debating whether or not to put cinnamon on this,
but I didn't in the end.
- Cinnamon is the world's oldest spice,
and it's absolutely delicious.
I've got some in the apple mix
and some in the topping as well.
- Custard is very important to go with apple crumble.
I love that rather than ice cream.
- I do make my own custard,
and I'm very pleased with myself
because previously my jugs have gone wrong,
but today's went right, which is good.
- Right, I'm ready to try the other mum's apple crumble.
(jaunty music)
- There is no contest here.
(jaunty music)
- Oh, this looks interesting.
Oh, that looks quite a lot of oats in there,
but their crumble looks nice.
- Mm, mm.
This is a contender.
- It's quite thick and cake-looking.
Crumble isn't supposed to look cake-looking,
but it looks very nice.
- Nice crumbly top.
Sounds really basic, but you gotta have a crumbly top to it.
- Oh, wow, lovely custard.
Oh gosh, that's nice.
I think her custard looks better than mine.
- Oh, it's nice creamy custard.
Mm.
(lips smack)
- Love a good crumble, I really do.
I'm looking forward to this.
Mm.
A lot of cinnamon in there.
- Mm, that's nice.
It's tasty.
Would've liked a bit more crumble actually
on the crumble bit.
- I can certainly taste a lot of cinnamon.
For my liking, it's too much cinnamon,
but, nice, nice.
- There's not enough crumble, I don't think.
There's a lot of apple,
but the crumble's quit thin, I think.
But it's really, it's nice, it's tasty.
And I like the cinnamon addition and the oats.
It's nice.
I like the custard.
I think the custard's quite nice.
It's a good consistency.
It's nice and creamy.
It's nice tasting.
- I think it deserves a seven.
It's very edible and very nice.
It's just not a standard apple crumble.
- I'd give this one an eight actually.
It's nice.
(music buzzes)
It's good, it's lovely, yep.
Thumbs up.
(jaunty music)
- Oh, that looks lovely.
This is how traditionally, I think an apple crumble's made.
Little bit overcooked here.
The apple looks nice.
- Yes, this is an apple crumble, all right.
This one here looks shop-bought to me, but it's nice.
I'm excited to try, come on.
- I think it actually looks similar.
That isn't mine, is it?
- [Producer] No.
(laughter)
- This is nice.
I love it.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Comfort food, this is gorgeous.
- Mm, really nice.
I can taste the apples.
They're generous with the apple.
I like bits of it being crunchy
and the other bits sugary.
Yeah, it's a good crumble.
- I could be here all day, you know that.
Mm.
Really enjoyed this.
Very nice.
- I think she makes it similar to me.
A little bit more crunchy than mine,
which isn't a bad thing.
I like it crunchy, as I said.
And a little bit overcooked on the edges.
I'm gonna give this a nine and a half.
It's almost perfect.
Lovely, well done.
- To the mum who made this crumble, thank you.
That is utterly delicious.
I love it.
This is eight and a half out of 10.
(music buzzes)
- Very nice.
(jaunty music)
- Oo la la.
The custard looks quite rich.
Smells good.
Lots of vanilla in there, which is nice.
- Smells nice.
Smells quite, mm,
I don't think the custard's like mine, actually.
But it's nice.
Nice smell to it.
- You are homemade, aren't you?
Yes, you are, of course you are.
The crumble is homemade too.
- It's got a nice crumbly top to it,
and nice apple in the middle.
Yeah, it's nice actually.
- Moment of truth.
Nearly as good as mine.
There's no cinnamon.
Cinnamon is a treat for me when it comes to crumble.
It's nice, but it needs cinnamon.
- I maybe would've liked the apples
a little bit more separate.
I don't know.
But it's nice, it's nice,
but it's gone together a little bit.
This is my personal taste.
- The apple is a lot softer.
I like the apple to still have a little bit of texture.
It's quite mushy.
- The crumbly bit on the top is nice.
It's nice and sweet.
It's the right sweetness.
It's not too sweet.
Maybe the apple is a little bit mushy,
but it's all crumble, isn't it?
So it's meant to be a little bit like that.
I think I would give this a seven.
- I'd give it a seven because I think
it's over the five mark.
I'm happy.
I'll have it, my hubby will, the kids will.
My neighbors will have it, hey.
(laughter)
(music buzzes)
- Whoo, yeah.
Thank you.
- [Producer] Do you want us to just say a final message
to the losing mums?
(laughter)
- No, not really.
