Steps:
- To prepare the ice cream, scald the milk with one-half vanilla bean in a small saucepan.
- Whip the egg yolks with sugar until they are pale yellow. Pour the scalded milk mixture slowly over the eggs, beating constantly. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan, and cook over low heat for four or five minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Do not boil!
- Remove from heat and cool. Add to an ice cream machine and follow directions to freeze.
- To prepare caramel walnuts, combine sugar, lemon juice and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until syrup is golden caramel in color. Turn off heat, stir in nuts, then remove them with a slotted spoon to a sheet of wax paper or a buttered cookie sheet.
- For the tart, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter a cookie sheet. Fold phyllo into approximately a 7-inch square. Cut out a 6- or 7-inch circle from the phyllo. Discard scraps.
- Cut the apple in half from stem to blossom end. With flat side down, cut apple into thin-as-possible slices. Layer slices on the phyllo, starting from the outside and working toward the middle. Sprinkle with the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon mixture, and place butter in the middle.
- Transfer the tart to a cookie sheet, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tart is nicely browned and the sugar is glazed.
- Serve with slightly softened vanilla ice cream and the caramel walnuts.
