Today I like to share my Mama’s apple custard pie . Love its simplicity, basic ingredients and great flavor. I bet it will become family favorite apple custard. We do love custard a lot. Who is ready to make easy apple dessert
This fruit custard dessert we make almost every other week in a summer . See easy recipe HERE
TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH APPLES.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup All purpose or Cake flour that I use most of the time
- ⅔ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples (thinly sliced)
Instructions to make Apple Custard
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour,salt and sugar.
- Add the eggs, cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for a perfect custard
- Line a baking pan (bottom and sides) with parchment paper. Ensure it hangs over the sides of the tin for easy removal after baking.
- Pour the batter into the lined baking pan. Arrange the slices of apples over the batter.
I usually use my 9×9 pan but for this recipe i like to cover it with wax paper so I can transfer it later nicely to a serving platter. Trying to be hopeful here .. this apple custard disappears in minutes ..lol
Prep your apples in a meantime. I love to leave my skin on most apples. The only one I peel it off is Granny Smith. It seams to have the most thicker skin
- Assemble and bake: Get the batter out of the refrigerator and stir gently, mixing any flour that may settle at the bottom of your dish during chilling.
I like to pour my batter first and then scatter thinly slice apples on top
- Preheat the oven to 325° F / 170°C
- Bake for 35 – 40 minutes. A skewer inserted in the middle should come out clean once baked.
- Remove from the oven but leave in the pan for 15 -20 minutes to cool and set.
- Holding on to the overhanging parchment paper, gently but quickly lift out the baked custard pie.
- Slice and serve while warm or refrigerate until serving.
Storage
- The baked French custard pie can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
I have shared our pear custard on my blog so make sure to check that recipe HERE. It is a bit different
Cool off a bit before adding a powdered sugar.
I have cut a piece to show you how this delicious custard is looking inside. It is so rich but light at the same time
It is hard to keep those custard desserts in our house for a long time ..lol I just turned around to sprinkle with powdered sugar and half of it was gone ..lol. See below
Well, I need to be crafty right now to get some decent pictures for my blog .. That is how good is that apple custard dessert.
