Ingredients
Scale
- 2 kg apples (Fuji, Royal Gala, or Pink Lady)
- 150 g granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 tsp salt
- 600 ml milk (whole, skimmed, lactose-free, or plant-based)
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. In a bowl, mix the sliced apples with 100 g sugar and salt.
- Transfer the apple mixture into a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
- Meanwhile, prepare the custard by warming the milk with the remaining sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth.
- Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Return it to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened.
- In a serving dish or individual glasses, layer baked apples followed by vanilla custard. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
