Ingredients
Scale
- 2 kg apples (Fuji, Royal Gala, or Pink Lady)
- 450 g granulated sugar (divided)
- 4 egg yolks
- 600 ml milk (whole, skimmed, lactose-free, or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and thinly slicing them. Toss with 150 g sugar and salt; set aside.
- Cook the apple slices in a saucepan over medium heat until tender and slightly caramelized (20-25 minutes). Let cool.
- For the vanilla custard, whisk together 150 g sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks until smooth. Heat milk until simmering; gradually add to egg mixture while whisking to avoid curdling. Return to heat and cook until thickened (5-7 minutes). Stir in vanilla bean paste.
- In a baking mold, layer half of the cooked apples followed by half of the custard. Repeat layers and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
