Ingredients:
- 4 room temperature Eggs
- 220g Sugar
- 50ml Oil
- 2 Apples (such as Fuji or Golden Delicious)
- 1 cup Custard Cream (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
- 300g Flour (extra fine 0000)
- 120ml Milk
- A splash of Vanilla Essence
- 16g Baking Powder
- A pinch of Salt
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a 24cm tart pan with oil or butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until creamy. Gradually blend in the oil.
- Gradually add the flour (mixed with baking powder and salt), alternating with the milk. Don’t forget to add a dash of vanilla essence. Mix well to combine.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly. Place some slices at the bottom of the tart pan. Then, pour half of your batter over them.
- Using a piping bag (or carefully, if you don’t have one), distribute the custard cream over the batter in the pan evenly.
- Add the remaining batter on top and arrange another layer of apple slices. It’s going to look fantastic and incredibly tempting!
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- Allow to cool slightly, then carefully unmold. If desired, sprinkle with some powdered sugar.
There you have it! In just a short amount of time and without any fuss, you’ve prepared an apple tart with custard cream that’s bound to impress. Perfect for sharing with friends, a family gathering, or indulging in a little afternoon treat. Enjoy your culinary creation!
