Apple Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
• Butter an 8 x 8 baking dish.
• Roll apples in sugar until they are coated evenly. Place apples close together in prepared dish.
• Using a blender (or use electric mixer) mix together the remaining ingredients (milk- almond extract) and pour over apples. Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
• Bake for 30- 40 minutes or until apples are tender. Custard will finish setting while apples are cooling.

Steps:

• Melt butter (or margarine) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple slices and saute for 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 1 minute longer.
• Reduce heat to low, uncover and let apples cook until light brown (3-5 minutes). Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 325-degrees F.
• Butter 6 custard cups (or butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish).
• In a bowl, whisk eggs until thick. Add sugar and salt and beat well.
• Blend in milk (or half and half) and vanilla.
• Pour custard into prepared custard cups.
• Set custard cups into large shallow baking pan.
• Add enough boiling water to pan so water comes up halfway up sides of cups.
• Bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in center of custard comes clean. (If using the casserole dish bake for 1 1/2 hours).
• Remove cups from water and let cool to room temperature.
• Top each custard with 4 (reserved) overlapping apple slices.
• Refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Slice the apples from top to bottom using a mandoline, Benriner or a sharp knife, turning the fruit as you reach the core. The slices should be about 1/16 inch thick-elegantly thin, but not so thin that they're transparent and fragile. Discard the cores.
• Whisk the flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.
• Working in a large bowl with a whisk, beat the eggs, sugar and salt together for about 2 minutes, until the sugar just about dissolves and, more important, the eggs are pale. Whisk in the vanilla, followed by the milk and melted butter. Turn the flour into the bowl and stir with the whisk until the batter is smooth. Add the apples to the bowl, switch to a flexible spatula and gently fold the apples into the batter, turning everything around until each thin slice is coated in batter. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top as evenly as you can-it will be bumpy; that's its nature.
• Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown, uniformly puffed- make sure the middle of the cake has risen-and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
• Using a long chefs knife, cut the cake into 8 squares in the pan (being careful not to damage the pan), or unmold the cake onto a rack, flip it onto a plate and cut into squares. Either way, give the squares a dusting of confectioners' sugar before serving, if you'd like.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add the lard and work it in with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and apples. Saute for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and turn into a deep dish 9-inch pie pan. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again, so that you can lift if without tearing it, and place over the pie pan. Crimp the edges of the pastry. Brush the pastry with the egg wash. Using a sharp knife, make a 1-inch circle in the center of the pie. Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. In a mixing bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, cream, yolk, and vanilla extract. Pour the custard through the hole in the pie. Place back in the oven and continue to cook for 30 minutes, or until the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Sprinkle the top of the pie with powdered sugar. Spoon onto serving plates, garnish with whipped cream and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Core, peel and slice apples to 1/4" thick.
• In piecrust, arrange the apple slices in concentric circles, overlapping them slightly.
• Beat sour cream, egg yolks, sugar, flour, vanilla and cinnamon with wire whisk until just blended; pour over apples.
• Bake pie 30 min, or until custard mixture is beginning to set.
• Meanwhile, prepare STREUSAL TOPPING: In small bowl, with hand, combine butter or margarine, flour and sugar until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• After pie has baked 30 min, evenly sprinkle topping over apples and custard.
• Bake 15 min longer or until topping is golden and knife inserted in center of pie comes out clean.
• If crust browns too rapidly, cover with foil.
• Cool at least one hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease or spray 8-inch squarea baking dish . Layer apple slices in dish.
• In bowl, whisk together sugar flour and cinnamon; whisk in eggs until frothy. Whisk in milk, lemom rind and vanilla; pour over apples.
• Crumble: In bowl, combie oats, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. With fingers, mix in butter until mixture is curmbly. Spinkle over apple mixture.
• Bake for about 50 minutes or until apples are tender, custard is thickened, and topping is golden. Serve warm or cold with a dollop of whipped cream or frozen vanilla yogurt.
• NOTE: Tart apples such as Northern Spy, Granny Smith Spartan or Crispin give the best fruit flavour.
• You may also sprinkle 1/3 cup of dried cranberries over apples in step one.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Pour the custard into a large baking dish. Toss the apples in the orange zest and juice, cinnamon and sugar.
• Arrange the apples, cut-side up, on top of the custard and drizzle with any extra juice from the bowl. Sprinkle over the granola and bake for 30 mins, until the apples are soft and piping hot - cover after 20 mins if the granola is getting dark. Serve with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of ice cream, if you like.

Steps:

• Make the crust by mixing flour, salt, and cold butter and shortening cut into bits. Mix in a food processor or with a fork until crumbly and a cornmeal consistency. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of cold water. Mix and then form into a ball, then roll flat. Put in a 9-inch pie plate and chill for one hour.
• Mix softened butter and sugar until well-blended. Add the sour cream, flour, salt, vanilla and eggs and beat until blended. Stir in sliced apples and cheddar cheese and stir gently to coat. Pour into the prepared pie shell.
