  • .
  • Custard:
  • 2½ cups milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 6 tsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp corn starch
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Peel and core the apples and chop very coarsely. Place in an oven-safe dish, add brown sugar and lemon juice, mixing gently to coat the apples evenly.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter, vanilla and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs and lemon zest until well incorporated. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Gently work the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients then spread the batter over the apples, making sure the edges of the batter kiss the sides of the dish. Bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle the surface with icing sugar and serve at immediately with vanilla ice cream or traditional vanilla custard.
  4. To make the custard: Heat the milk and vanilla together in a saucepan so that it comes to a simmer. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and corn starch together in a bowl. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the milk, whisking constantly. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened- roughly 5 minutes.
Notes
* This will be between 4 and 7 apples, depending on their size. If you don't have a kitchen scale, don't worry- this is does not need to be exact. Add more fruit if you prefer a fruit-heavy cake, less for a more cake-heavy finished product.
