• Versatile enough for any season or occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 3 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

How to Make Apple Custard Tart

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch tart pan, trimming any excess overhang. Prick the bottom with a fork and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Arrange the apple slices evenly in the prepared crust.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and flour until smooth.
4. Pour the custard mixture over the arranged apples in the tart crust, ensuring the apples are well-coated.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
6. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. For a beautiful finish, you can dust the top with powdered sugar.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor.
• Make sure to thinly slice the apples for even cooking.
• Let the tart cool completely before slicing to help it hold its shape.
• If you prefer a more pronounced vanilla flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla bean paste.

Easy Variations

• Substitute pears or peaches for the apples for a different fruity twist.
• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.
• Top with a handful of raisins or nuts for added texture.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a creamy contrast.
• Fresh berries to add a pop of color and tartness.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
