Tried a new recipe, an Apple Custard.
Pretty good stuff, very moist and light, lots of apple flavor and not overly sweet.
Benefited from a light dusting of powdered sugar.
It'd be da'bomb with some vanilla ice cream.
Serves 4-6 people.
But I like more than just a few bites of dessert, so I'd be thinking 2-4 people.
Apple Custard
Butter for pan
4 medium apples
2T unsalted butter, melted and cooled but still liquid
1/2c flour
1t baking powder
2 eggs
1/3c granulated sugar
1/16t fine sea salt
2t vanilla extract
6T whole milk
Powdered sugar (optional)
Preheat oven to 400°
Butter an 8x8 square baking dish and line with parchment paper.
Peel 4 medium sized apples, I used Jazz Apples, and then slice them very thinly.
A mandolin makes this job much easier and quicker.
Whisk flour and baking powder together.
Whisk together eggs, sugar and salt, till sugar is dissolved and eggs are pale.
Whisk in the vanilla, then the milk and then the butter.
Add in the flour mixture and whisk till smooth.
Carefully fold in apples a bit at a time, making sure each slice is coated.
Scrape batter into baking dish and roughly even out the top.
Bake 40-50 minutes or until golden and uniformly puffed, a toothpick should come out clean.
Cool on a rack, dust with powdered sugar if ya like, and slice.
