Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Apples
- 3 Eggs
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 20 grams Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting, optional) Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish or cake pan with butter.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Arrange the slices in the prepared baking dish in a fan-like pattern or scatter them evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
Gently pour the batter over the apple slices in the baking dish, ensuring the apples are evenly coated.
Cut the butter into small pieces and dot them over the top of the batter for added richness.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the middle.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the custard cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
