APPLE FLAUGNARDE image

A fellow JAPer gave me the idea for this traditional French dessert and I went looking for a recipe. I found several and I tweaked and combined to come up with this delicious dish. The "magic" crust is rather like a flan, so tasty and not overly sweet.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large pink lady apples (i used honey crisp)
2 tsp vanilla extract
7 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/3 c plus 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
3 large eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 c heavy cream
1/4 tsp sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Butter a 10-inch fluted tart pan with room-temperature butter; sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of the sugar around the sides of the dish.
  • 2. Place the eggs and 1/3 cup sugar in a food processor and mix together for 1-2 minutes until frothy on top and light in color. Add the flour, cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix together and set aside.
  • 3. Peel, core, and slice the apples, with about 4 to 5 slices per apple quarter, or roughly 16 slices per apple. Fan the slices lightly onto the tart pan in any pattern you choose.
  • 4. Pour the batter over the apples, making sure the apples are well coated.
  • 5. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until the top is golden brown and the custard is firm, about 32-35 minutes.
  • 6. Serve either warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream.
