Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10-inch cast iron skillet instead.
Be sure to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the custard.
If you want a more golden brown custard, you can broil it for a minute or two at the end of the baking time.
Serve the custard warm or cold, topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
