How to Make Apple Tartlets With Nutmeg Scented Orange Custard
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pastry dough according to your preferred recipe or use store-bought pre-made dough. Roll out the dough and cut out circles to fit your tartlet tins.
- Press the dough into the tartlet tins, ensuring an even base and sides.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples. Toss with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Divide the apples evenly among the tartlet shells.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spoon the custard over the apples in each tartlet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and orange zest (optional).
