Steps:
- For crust: Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface turning it constantly so that it does not stick; add more flour as needed (the dough might crack around the edges, most of the cracks don't matter since the edges will be trimmed after the tart is in the pan, if there are some big ones that will show when the tart is in the pan, patch them with pieces of dough before fitting the) when the dough is rolled out, flip it over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom; fit it into the tart pan without stretching; roll the rolling pin over the top of the tart to cut off the dough hanging over the pan's edge; refrigerate 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F Place the tart pan on shallow baking sheet; fit the tart pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, fill with beans or pie weights, and bake in the middle of preheated oven for 15 minutes; carefully remove the foil with beans and bake for another 5 minutes.
- For filling: Turn the heat down to 375F; quarter, core, and peel the apples; cut into 1/4" lengthwise slices; toss them in a bowl with the sugar and cinnamon, then arrange them in the crust in concentric circles; bake in the upper third of preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they start to color and are almost tender; remove from oven and let cool while preparing the custard.
- For custard: Beat the egg and sugar together in a mixing bowl until mixture is thick, pale yellow, and falls back on itself forming a slowly dissolving ribbon; beat in the flour, then the cream, and finally the cognac; pour the mixture over the apples; it should come almost to the top of the pastry shell; return to oven for 10 minutes, or until cream begins to puff.
- Sprinkle with icing sugar (placed in a sieve and sprinkled evenly over) and return to oven for 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Tart is done when top has browned and a knife plunged into the custard comes out clean; unmold the tart; cool 10 minutes and serve.

Steps:
- Put the plain flour and butter in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until they resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the icing sugar and a pinch of salt, followed by the egg yolk. If the pastry feels too dry to form a dough, add 1-2 tbsp water.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of baking parchment until it forms an approximately 28cm circle. Put in the fridge for 20 mins to firm up, then rest over a buttered 23cm tart tin. Push down into the corners and trim the top so there's a 1-2cm overhang of pastry. Don't worry if it breaks slightly, just patch up any tears with the offcuts. Prick the base several times with a fork, then chill in the fridge for 45 mins. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Lay a sheet of baking parchment over the chilled tart case and fill to the top with baking beans. Blind bake for 15 mins. Remove the baking beans and parchment and bake for another 10-15 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin, then trim off the excess pastry around the top with a small knife.
- Meanwhile, bring the milk and vanilla to the boil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Beat together the egg yolks, caster sugar and custard powder until well combined.
- Pour the hot milk over the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Return the mixture to the pan over a medium-low heat. Stir continuously for 2-3 mins until the mixture is very thick. Leave to cool slightly, giving a whisk occasionally so it doesn't go lumpy.
- Pour the custard mixture into the cooked pastry case, spreading to level it out. Put it in the fridge for 2 hrs to set completely.
- Pour half the lemon juice into a medium bowl of water, then finely slice the apples into the bowl, using a mandolin if you like. Sprinkle with the caster sugar and microwave for 3-4 mins on high, then transfer into a bowl of cold water with the remaining lemon juice.
- Wrap 3-4 slices of apple around each other to form a rose shape - rolling up the first one, then wrapping the other slices around it. Press the apple flowers into the custard, working your way around until the whole tart is covered.

Steps:
- You will need a 10 inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. I place mine on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare the crust. Place all ingredient for crust in a food processor and pulse until it comes together in a soft dough. No food processor? No problem: Mix crust ingredients together with clean fingers. Pat the dough in the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan working evenly along the top edges. Bake crust for 16-18 minutes until lightly Browned. Remove from oven to cooling rack. LOWER THE OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 350.
- Prepare apples. Place the apples in a decorative fashionable around the inside of the cooled crust. Sprinkle them with 1/2 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Make the custard. In a medium bowl, beat together the flour, sugar and eggs with a wooden spoon. In a small saucepan, heat the half and half with vanilla just until the bubbles start to rise to the top. Working quickly, place a spoonful of the hot half and half into the egg mixture and stir vigorously. Stream the rest of the hot mixture into the eggs and continue to stir until combined. Pour custard over the apples in the tart pan just to beneath the top edge. Do not overfill.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of the custard. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes until custard is set. Remove from oven. Microwave 1/4 cup do apricot or seedless raspberry jam until melted and smooth. I do this for 20 seconds or until melted. With a pastry brush, spread melted jam over the top of apples on tart. Cool tart on cooling rack. To remove tart from pan, press upward on the bottom of pan carefully. Can be served warm or cool. Refrigerate any leftovers covered.

Making an apple custard tart is a simple process that requires only a few ingredients and basic baking skills. Here's how to make your own apple custard tart:- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F, and then prepare your tart shell. Whether you're using pastry, graham crackers, or some other type of crust, make sure it's spread evenly across the bottom and sides of the tart pan.
- Next, sprinkle some flour over the bottom of the tart shell to prevent the filling from sticking. Then, layer the sliced apples over the flour, making sure to spread them out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and any other desired flavorings. Pour this mixture over the apples in the tart shell.
- Place the filled tart shell in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the custard is set and lightly golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
Variations on Apple Custard Tarts
While the basic apple custard tart is delicious in its own right, there are several variations that can be made to change up the flavor and texture of the dessert. Here are a few ideas:- Spiced Apple Custard Tart: Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to the custard mixture for a warm and cozy dessert that's perfect for fall.
- Caramel Apple Custard Tart: Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples before pouring in the custard mixture to create a rich and indulgent dessert.

Tips for the Perfect Apple Custard Tart
Making a perfect apple custard tart can take a bit of practice, so here are some tips to help you get it right.- Choose the right apples: Make sure to choose apples that will hold their shape and not turn to mush when baked. Good choices include tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Watch the baking time: The custard should be set and lightly golden brown on top when done. Don't overbake or the custard will become tough and dry.
- Let it cool: Wait until the tart has cooled completely before slicing and serving. This will give the custard time to firm up and set properly.
- Store it properly: Store leftover apple custard tart in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
