I've not tried this yet, but it sounded so yummy I had to share! From the December issue of Yoga Journal magazine. Preparation and cooking times are estimates. I bet this would be better with pecans instead of the called-for walnuts, but I'm posting it as written. :)

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons rice syrup
2 lbs granny smith apples, peeled,cored,and quarterd
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup maple sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
  • Butter an eight-inch round cake pan and line with parchment.
  • Combine the maple and rice syrup and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Cut about a third of the apples into quarter-inch-thick slices, and arrange in a spiral pattern on top of the syrup mixture so that they cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Grate the remaining apples and toss them with the lemon juice and one teaspoon of the cinnamon.
  • Combine the remaining cinnamon with the flour, maple sugar, oats, baking powder, salt, and walnuts; set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the egg whites until light and fluffy.
  • Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla.
  • Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the center of the oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
  • Cool for 10 minutes on a cake rack, then invert onto a plate.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use sweet, ripe apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • To make sure the custard is cooked through, insert a knife into the center of the dish. If it comes out clean, the custard is done.
  • Let the custard cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and become more firm.
  • Serve the custard warm or cold, topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
  • You can also use this recipe to make individual servings of baked apple custard. Simply divide the mixture between four ramekins and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the custard is set.

Conclusion:

Baked apple custard is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy custard, sweet apples, and flaky crust, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
