Apple Custard Tart

 

Looks fancy …like something you might order in a nice restaurant or coffee shop…but it’s simple to make. Tender crisp apple layered over a bed of cream cheese and vanilla custard. The crust is light, buttery and flaky and your friends will think you slaved all day to make it. Delicious!  

 

 

Apple Custard Tart

Crust

1-1/2 cups sugar- and cinnamon-coated graham crackers

2 tablespoons sugar

6 tablespoons melted butter

In a medium-size bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Mix together until the butter is incorporated with the crumbs and sugar. Add the graham cracker mixture to a scalloped tart pan with a removable bottom. Form the sides and bottom of the graham cracker crust. Let sit in the refrigerator for 1-1/2 hours.

Filling

 

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

Caramel sauce or topping 

Beat together cream cheese, eggs, cream, vanilla and sugar until smooth. In a large bowl, toss the apples, sugar, and the almonds. Stir them with a fork until the sugar is distributed.  Pour the cream filling into the tart pan and spread evenly. 

 















 

 

 

Arrange the diced apples on top and drizzle a fair amount of caramel sauce on top. Brush the caramel sauce to coat the apples.  Bake until the apples are tender and lightly golden, about 30-35 minutes. Drizzle with more caramel sauce if desired.
