How to Make Apple Custard Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, prepare the custard filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, salt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Gently toss them with the cinnamon and remaining sugar.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Pour the custard filling over the apples.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the custard is set and the apples are tender. The center should be slightly jiggly.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
