Today, it looks like we’ve stumbled across Mrs Crocombe at rest knitting some dishcloths. In actual fact, she’s hard at work; these dishcloths help to produce a rather interesting texture to today’s recipe - Fashionable Apple Dumplings.

INGREDIENTS
Apples (such as Cox's or Russets)
Marmalade (Orange or lemon)
And for the suet crust:
225g flour
85g suet
A generous pinch of salt
Cold water
You will also need some knitted dishcloths.
METHOD
Start by making your suet crust (a type of pastry containing suet). This can be made with 225g flour, 85g suet, a generous pinch of salt and some cold water. Gradually mix the ingredients in a bowl until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
Next, peel and core the apples. Place a few spoonfuls of your favourite marmalade into the hole in the middle of each apple.
Roll out your suet crust dough until it’s thin, then place an apple in the middle and wrap the pastry entirely around it. Cut off any excess, and make sure the suet crust completely seals around the apple until it’s smooth all over. Wrap the apple in a dishcloth that has been coated with melted butter, and tie the top with string to ensure that it’s tightly wrapped. Repeat this process for each apple.
To cook, place the apple parcels into a pan of already boiling water (otherwise the apples will disintegrate). Keep it at a simmer for just under an hour depending on the size of the apples. Once cooked, removed the apple parcels from the pan and carefully remove the cloth. Serve on their own or with cream.

Thank you for watching! We’ve anticipated some of your questions about this recipe and have included the answers below. Have another question? Reply to this comment and we’ll aim to answer the most upvoted comments.
HOW DO I MAKE SUET CRUST?
As Mrs Crocombe says, suet crust is really easy. Just gradually combine the following ingredients in a bowl until you have a smooth, elastic dough:
225g flour
85g suet
A generous pinch of salt
Cold water
WHAT IS SUET?
Suet is the hard fat around the kidneys of most animals. It is easily available online, and we would recommend using the real stuff. The leading brand in the UK is Atora, but there are others available . You can get vegetarian suet online as well. If you really can't get it, you could try wrapping your apples in bread dough and see if that works - let us know!
WHAT APPLE VARIETY SHOULD I USE?
Any eating apple should work for this recipe, but we'd advise older varieties such as Cox or Pippin. A Braeburn or Golden Delicious will work. A Bramley or a Granny Smith (or other cooking varieties) won't work as they tend to turn to mush when cooked for this long.
I DON’T HAVE A KNITTED DISHCLOTH, WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?
The cloth gives the dumplings their distinctive pattern, so while you can use a standard (cotton) pudding cloth or tea towel, it won't be quite the same. You can buy them quite easily, or you can knit (or crochet) your own, in which case make sure you use 100% cotton wool. (Usually sold specifically as dishcloth wool).
WOULD MRS CROCOMBE REALLY HAVE TO KNIT HER OWN DISHCLOTHS?
Probably not, no, for you could buy anything! But Kathy Hipperson’s interpretation of Avis Crocombe is that she likes to train her maids in all aspects of the job, as well as preparing them for life beyond the kitchen. Most girls would have learnt to knit from their mothers, as it was a basic life skill at the time. Working as a domestic servant often meant keeping a close eye on the household budget, and that might lead to knitting your own cloths. Many people also enjoyed knitting for pleasure. And yes, Kathy really can knit, and very well too. She really did make most of her own dishcloths for this video.
WHY DOES MRS CROCOMBE SEEM TO BOIL A LOT OF HER DISHES?
Boiling was the most energy efficient way to cook. A vessel full of boiling water could be used to cook many things simultaneously, and frequently the poor in the UK (and elsewhere) would cook their food in bags in a cauldron over the same fire which provided heat for their home. Further up the social scale, cooking over direct heat, either by roasting (in the old sense of cooking in front of a fire), or grilling (in the current American English use, which was also the UK English use of the word until the late 19th century), was also used, but was not efficient at all. Kitchens often used the heat from the roasting fire to heat a cauldron for boiling as well. Baking was only open to those rich enough to afford an oven (unless they took food to the local bakers to be baked). Ovens were neither as controllable or usable as modern ovens -cooking over fire or in a range was both. However, when historic books refer to boiling they use it as a catch all term, and this can be misleading, for they often mean poaching, which is rather gentler.
CAN I BAKE THE DUMPLINGS INSTEAD OF BOILING THEM?
We cannot guarantee the results if you bake them without boiling first, but if you try this approach please report back. We'd advise boiling them for 45 minutes then removing them from the cloth and baking for 10-15m at 180c / 350f.
WHAT DID THEY TASTE LIKE?
Fashionable Apple Dumplings were a second course dish, not dessert, so possibly a bit more savoury than we would imagine a sweet to be today, when we are used to very sweet, rather simple flavours and textures.
Incredible! Thanks for the info
God bless Kathy!
Wow that was a very cool dish indeed. I wonder if it would taste better fryed but not with the cloth😂
Thank you for always providing such neat information! I love all your videos! ❤️
Can we have Mrs. Crocombe teach us how to knit?
I was so relieved Edgar picked the right apples this time 😅
So was Edgar.
So were the apples.
@@TONGANMUViiEZ LOL
Hahaha
What video was he in before
If mrs crocombe was alive today she'd have her own cooking show
This is her cooking show.
@@ddawn23 mindblown
@@ddawn23 It's bigger on the inside.
@@ddawn23 r/woooosh
@sazunaki Right back at ya, babe.
What are you doing?
Me: *"knitting a dishcloth"*
I am really knitting a dishcloth as I am watching.
Literally half the people I know have done that at some point.
Is anyone else excited at how she name dropped Edgar, the gardener, in this video? I miss that adorable young man! When is his next video dropping? He has a growing fan base too!!
Yes, I'd like to see Edgar again, this time perhaps planting fruiting or flowering trees or bushes, or ridding the foliage of infestations, or treating tree bark, or any of the numerous tasks he must have.
Obviously when ever mrs crocoombr needed her after all she is the star
Probably not in a while
Many have been thirsting over him and its all out of control lmao
@@pppppppp7182 Well, no wonder. He's as cute as a button, he is!
Hes still trying to win Mary Ann's heart.
Only outfit repeater that looks better each time. Queen.
CourtneyRussRuss this is literally the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life literally what the fuck 😂😂😂
findingemoo uhhhhhh
@@findingemoo7186 well as you can clearly see, our youths only goal is to never wear anything twice in public, because that aparently makes you look not as good.
@@TeylaDex Your statement makes absolutely no sense.
@@wonderbread4421 and here i thought boomers were people born between 1946 and 1964. but then this seems to be the only edgy answer that is available at the moment. probably too many advertisement jingles in the brain to think...
"Edgar has done as I requested and found me some uniformly-sized apples. He couldn't appear on this video because I AM THE STAR, ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE CROCOMBE. You shall also need some suet crust...."
No because he is healing from the whipping she gave him for stealing 1 apple from the pile
Legend has it Mrs. Crocombe invented the roast
Also, toast!
Goodness, she must be a bit older than she looks. I would never have expected she was around when we harnessed fire!
@@anne-droid7739 she's the immortal known as the nun, she was there to turn all the snakes in fossilized ammonites.
@@henriettalaimmortelle8523
XD
Mrs. Crocombe invented cooking.
I need a teeshirt that says “for this recipe you will need...”
So. Can we get a knitting tutorial now- the Victorian way?
That dishcloth she showed was very simple. Cast on, knit (just the one kind of stitch), bind off. Personally, I like "Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth", or "Simple Dishcloth" which starts from one corner. There are several tutorials here on RUclips. 😊
@@thekingsdaughter4233 I haven't learned to knit. I do just a little crochet but I would love to learn more. I am a hands on learner though so I really need to find a class to attend.
Knitting Help here on RUclips has very straightforward, informative videos. Mrs. Crocombe knits in the English style (as opposed to Continental or the rarer Portuguese style), meaning she carries her working yarn in the right hand. Continental style carries the working yarn in the left, and Portuguese style tensions it around the neck and uses either hand. If you were to search knitting help English style, you’d learn exactly the way she does it. I personally prefer Continental style. It’s not related to dominant-handedness, simply what comes most naturally to you. If you find English style too fiddly, switch hands!
@@dakotacampbell1358 you could crochet a dishcloth. Would be just fine. Loom knitting or knitting videos on RUclips are great. Look on Google, Facebook, town hall or maybe the local library for local classes
Single crochet or slip stich discloths would give a similar pattern.
Welcome back mrs.crocombe...been waiting for ur video so long. Frm Malaysia😀
matt 55555 OMG SAMEEE
Yeayyy samaaa hahah 😂
Same
Omg same-
Same!!!
I know it wouldn't be historically accurate but I really wanna see a collaboration between Mrs Crocombe and Binging with Babish all of a sudden
Lets fly andrew to europe and get him in period clothing stat.
TMW world's collide...
Spencer O'Dowd only if you as Dr who into the mix. With a pinch of salt, that is.
First thing I thought when I (somehow) landed on this channel
Sir, why have you climbed upon the table and are kneading the dough with your feet!?
Every time Mrs Crocombe has something to say about “poor people”, “not very good”, she look right into your eyes.
Wow those patterns on the apple dumplings are amazing, who knew you can cook with dishcloths?
I bet the dumplings would also look great if they were tied in cotton lace.
Yeah. I first didn't understand why you'ld want to go through the trouble and knit the dishcloths in stead of using pudding. cloths. The pattern looks real nice.
@@MossyMozart oooh, interesting idea. You'd probably want handmade bobbin lace, since it is easier to customize the size of the cloth, and easier to make more durable using thicker threads. And I'm unsure if it is possible to find manufactured lace that is 100% cotton (they mentioned that it should be in the pinned comment)
Crocheted lace doilies would probably work well if the pattern was dense enough.
@@z894639 yeah, that could be cool as well.
None of your plebian, 'regular' dumplings in this establishment.
Nammy Pants Haha! I know, right? I, on the other hand, am useless at food “presentation.”
Pleb
"And now, to boil them!" 😶
... I really thought she was going to bake these
In a dishcloth?
@@ricog8209 I would work (you’d have to be very careful) but then they’d be fancy apple mini pies lol
Mrs Beeton would have baked them.
"For this recipe , you will need" ICONIC
I love the addition of knitting the dishcloths in this episode. It totally adds a really caring and teacher like aspect to Mrs Crocombe, teaching her maids to make sure they can handle jobs outside of Audley End or as higher up kitchen maids once she herself retires!
Me watching this in 2019: nice but who has time to peel an apple, let alone knit a dishcloth!
Me, watching this in 2021 in quarantine: so I just planted the bare root apple sapling...where are my knitting needles?
Curious thing...
I'm brazilian... No idea how I got here... so how did I end up in an apron in the kitchen cutting apples?
This lady is just magical.
It's always a pleasure to watch Mrs. Crocombe cook. I could watch her all day. Thank you English Heritage for introducing her character to us!
Yaaassssss!! Mrs. Avis Crocombe has graced us!
(She arrived at 2AM from where I am. Good thing I was still awake😁)
[EDIT: I love how people all over the world tuned into Mrs. Crocombe the moment she appeared after a long time. She's a queen and her kingdom is the world👑]
Mee too.. iam frm Malaysia and its 2am here..😁
same!!!!!!
Good heavens! It's only 8 PM here, get some sleep! :D
@@razzogatto7960 i was planning to revisit some of Mrs. Crocombe's previous recipes before sleeping! But then this video suddenly appeared❤❤❤
Now I wanna watch everything again😅
2:00 pm here.
I love how the knitted cloth imprints it's design in the dumplings. I wonder how different knitting patterns would look!
~☆~ I would love English Heritage to show case knitting and crocheting of the Victoria period, maybe some Queen Victoria scarfs or some Irish lace ~☆~
Ah ha! The other recipe she mentioned in "How to Harvest Apples!" Thank you!
And the Gateau de Pommes video
I love continuity
I just got done with a physics exam that was really tough 😭 i'm not so sure i did well!
thankful for another episode with mrs crocombe to distract/calm me down lol
Fingers crossed for you, MindTardis.
My sisters and cousin are doing\done exams too,I’ll add you to my prayers
Good luck!!!! I’m pretty sure you did well 😊
@@WaterStar2398 i am also having paper. Three papers are done, i didn't do well in two but i hope i get good marks.
Good luck!!
People: "omg i'm so traditional"
Mrs. Crocombe: "hold my beer"
Khansa Nadilah lmao no hold her wine
*my brandy
Hold my ale
Sherry
Thank you Bernadette Banner for introducing me to English Heritage. I just love the information, history and the creativity of all those at English Heritage.
Tania Magic Fingers
I was the other way around, stumbling onto Ms. Banner’s channel via EH. Occasionally RUclips’s recommendation algorithm gets it exactly right.
And they both came out with new videos! 😀
Blimey! I almost burned my own food because I *HAD* to watch this.
Had you burned it, Mrs Crocombe wouldn't have approved.
I'm already late and I still stop for Mrs Crocombe. LOL
Oh! The dish towel creates a pattern on the crust. That's so pretty!
Why can’t Mrs. Crocombes videos be longer! I love watching her videos!
Why does it seem like it’s been ages since we’ve seen her?...missed you a lot , Mrs.C!❤️
Ah, nothing better than binge watching Mrs. Crocombe than seeing a newly uploaded video. Never knew that watching a Victorian lady from centuries ago making delicacies and desserts would be this calming until I found this gem :))
Mrs. Crocombe is back! And, Edgar and his apples get a shoutout!
Was about to take a shower then I was hit with the notification and must postpone everything for Mrs. Crocombe!
YAASSSS
The queen has arrived!!!
Growing up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish cooking, we used to make similar apple dumplings. The only difference was instead of the marmalade we covered the apple with cinnamon and sugar and sprinkled sanding sugar on the pastry on the outside, then baked them. So delicious! I'll have to try this and compare.
Really specific and odd question/conjecture: Was this recipe intended to create the look and sweetness of a pineapple, given how expensive fresh pineapple could be in the period?
Quite possible. The cooked apple does have a strong resemblance to a pineapple. Has she only used organic food colouring to paint it yellow, it would have become an apple flavoured pineapple!
First Harvest She would have used marigold to color it
The wealthy had pineapple houses so they could grow them
@@michelles2299 not in england it's way too cold
@@rubyhall8280 No, it's true, and they were called pineries. The Duke of Devonshire famously had one.
I never knew my dumplings were dull plebs. My eyes have been opened, and my dumplings will henceforth be fashionable, never again basic.
Glory! My favourite series on RUclips! Ready to 'tuck-in' and watch!
You are very good at telling. I learn English and learn to cook with your videos. And you are a very charming lady.
It is great that these videos are helping you learn. You are doing very well. May I correct a few minor mistakes in your comment? "You are very good at storytelling. I'm learning English and learning to cook from your videos and you are a very charming lady."
Each time is a "didn't see that coming". EVERY TIME!
Victorian cousine is so weirdly interesting
This was the dish mentioned in the Gâteau de pommes episode where she requested Edgar to make sure he had apples roughly the same size in storage. I love the continuity they put in their vids. Makes it easy to follow along and also makes it seem authentic
I thought Mrs Crocombe making apple dumplings was the most wholesome thing I'd ever seen.
But for Mrs Crocombe to make apple dumplings with dishcloths she hand-knitted?
Well I never.
I think the wholesome-o-meter just broke.
Yesssss! Another episode with the historical Mary Berry, also known as Avis Crocombe!
SHE KNITS, TOO?! Kathy/Mrs. C never ceases to surprise and delight me!
Where has this show been all my life?! Love it!!! Thank you for posting this! I can't wait to try this out!
Am I the only one that's hoping and praying that Mrs. Crocombe has a whole line up of holiday recipes for the upcoming holiday seasons? 🤞🤞
Your production is always amazing, congrats for the beautiful video.
Yay!! I love love LOVE when I see that there's a new video featuring Mrs. Crocombe showing us more recipes from her Victorian kitchen.
PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE OFTEN!! ❤️💜💙💚💛🧡
These are priceless moments of history recorded in time. Wow! I cherish getting to watch each one. May each person who worked on them be blessed.
A long overdue return! Mrs. Crocombe, i adore you.
Once more, I have enjoyed Mrs. Crocombe's Culinary Artistry. I look forward to each time she graces my youtube. Thank you so much.
Started feeling nostalgic and decided to rewatch every one of your videos and then here you are, with a new one! My weekend is made ❤️
Omg these latest videos are even more relaxing to watch than earlier ones! Thanks for posting! I love THE VICTORIAN WAY!
I love watching Mrs. Crocombe, she always cheers me up; and the actress who plays her is just too good. Thank you English Heritage for all the neat videos, hope to see more of Mrs. Crocombe in the future. Greetings from the USA!
Lovely to see you again, Mrs Crocombe! Beautiful cooking as always.
(Thank you, English Heritage and Kathy 🌼)
I am ridiculously happy that one of my favorite hobbies (knitting) has intersected with one of my favorite RUclips channels.
I've been waiting for Mrs Crocombe's video for so long, finally!!
Ahhh Mrs Crocombe! ❤
Thank you for another sweet recipe
I love her!!!! Thanks for posting!!! Greetings from Lake Charles LA
My day became brighter when I checked my e-mail and I saw there was a new Mrs. Crocombe video! This was a great video with another great recipe (that I will make in the future). Keep the Avis Crocombe videos coming with the talented Kathy Hipperson!
The music is so soothing...very relaxing to watch these videos!
YES!! Mrs Crocombe ❤️👏👏 I have an English Heritage membership for the family and I'm so happy that I bought it. I feel that in some small way I also support Mrs Crocombe. Not to mention all the other awesome things EH do!
Hurrah for Mrs Crocombe and English Heritage!! ❤️☕🍎🇬🇧👵🏻
I always look forward to your Victorian way videos. It's always a pleasant to watch these.
These videos have the most pleasant comment sections I've ever seen on youtube. That's the power of Mrs. Crocombe's scrumptious and fashionable Victorian cooking.
I just want to spend the day with this woman!!!!!😫😫😫😩😩 she’s so comforting!!!
It's like 2:30 AM where I am right now but I don't care, still watching!
I’d bake these right afterwards.
Uploaded only 45 minutes ago and already 5,000+ views. Thank you, Mrs Crocombe - I always wondered about apples dumplings. Looks delicious!
Goodness! The ingenuity of these recipes is astounding!

I click fast

I’ve never in my life made anything other than tea... yet I’ve watched almost every cooking tutorial of Mrs. Crocombe and I will keep on watching them. They make me so happy and calm.
I love watching Mrs. Crocombes recipes trying a few out myself
Love these episodes.
Can't believe knitting was part of the job too.
Yes! More Avis!!! Thank you EH, I really needed a pick me up today :)
The music used is so happy! And charming, unlike so many royalty free songs. It sounds like something out of the sims
I absolutely have fell in love with these recipes. Wish there were more to watch
I love how fashionable they are
❤️❤️❤️ looks still fancy!!
It's a small thing, but I adore the way Mrs. Crocombe begins her videos. It really makes me feel like an old friend who's just popped by for a quick chat and a cup of tea (and perhaps some of her lovely biscuits) and happens to be lucky enough to watch Mrs. Crocombe cooking as well.
I've missed Mrs Crocombe so much!!! Thanks for the video!
took him long enough to find those apples
Ann R Hahaha!
I love the name - fashionable apple dumplings sounds really cute :D
Who else just likes to sit there and binge the entire series? It's just so satisfying watching Mrs Crocombe cook!
Yay! Mrs. Crocombe is back!
I clicked on this so fast. That said, ummm Mrs. Crocombe, where was the cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg?!
exactly! these look like they have the potential to be delicious
You dare to question the Queen of Audley End's kitchens?
I guess some marmalade recipes had cinnamon. Also in their own comment the channel said that it wasn't a dessert but a course in between two courses so it wasn't expected to be sweet, hence no sugar.
Wrong channel for nutmeg obsession.
@@elenafriese891 Yeah we're here to savour the flavours and aroma of the Victorian times.
If I ever go to the UK I must definetly visit!
Always a great day when a new Mrs. Crocombe video is released!!
Always so relaxing to watch Mrs. Crocombe in the kitchen. I love all of these.
Check out Dianxi Xiaoge, kind of similar only in Chinese village
These always make me hungry and wanting to try the recipes.
Amanda Imhoff Baking them in the oven sounds much more appetizing, but the English really perfected the boil-in-cloth pudding. I think that was great inventiveness for folks who might have lacked an oven.
@@Tina06019 yes, the boiled is what I would like to try. I could have some in my oven anytime.
Still the purest RUclips comment section ❤️
Thank you for these wonderful videos! The woman playing Mrs Crocombe does a fantastic job, the intro is beautiful and the "mood" in these videos is so peaceful and comforting. During lockdown, I think, I've finally watched them all :) Subscribed!
These videos are a true gift
I almost broke my phone hitting the like button 😂
In the middle of watching Pose and saw the notification. I need my Mrs. Crocombe fix!!
Don't forget to finish watching "Pose", though!
@@MossyMozart Finishing right now! HAHA
