How to Make Apple Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Gently core six medium-sized apples (leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom intact for stability), leaving the apples whole.
  3. In a small bowl, toss the cored apples in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the apples snugly in a lightly buttered 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. In a blender, combine the following ingredients: 4 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Carefully pour the custard mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg, if desired.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the custard is set. The custard should be slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let the Apple Custard cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or cold.
