Preheat the oven to 190°C Ober-/Unterhitze and set out a medium baking dish.
Peel, core, and chop 800g apple into 2 cm chunks. Toss the chopped Apple in a bowl with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 50g sugar, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture into the medium baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Combine 125g wheat flour, 50g rolled oats, 100g sugar, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 pinch salt in a bowl. Cut the cold 110g butter into small cubes, add it to the bowl, and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some larger pea-sized clumps. Scatter the topping evenly over the Apple filling, ensuring the fruit is mostly covered but not packed down tightly.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 35–40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the crumble topping is deeply golden-brown and crisp.
While the crumble is in its final 10 minutes of baking, gently heat 300ml milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a saucepan until hot but not boiling. In a bowl, whisk 3 egg yolk and the remaining 40g sugar together until pale. Slowly pour the hot Milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the crumble from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm, generously drizzled with the warm homemade custard.
