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.
Ingredients
-
2 largepink lady apples (i used honey crisp)
-
2 tspvanilla extract
-
7 Tbspall purpose flour
-
1/3 cplus 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
-
3 largeeggs at room temperature
-
1 1/2 cheavy cream
-
1/4 tspsea salt
How to Make APPLE FLAUGNARDE
- Butter a 10-inch fluted tart pan with room-temperature butter; sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of the sugar around the sides of the dish.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the batter over the apples, making sure the apples are well coated.
- Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until the top is golden brown and the custard is firm, about 32-35 minutes.
- Serve either warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream.
