CREAMY BAKED APPLE CUSTARD CAKE
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. :)

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:
- Choose the right apples: For the best results, use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
- Peel and core the apples: Use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. Be sure to remove the seeds and the stem.
- Slice the apples: Slice the apples into thin wedges. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the apples with sugar and spices: In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. This will help them caramelize in the oven.
- Make the custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. This is the custard that will be poured over the apples.
- Assemble the dish: Place the apple slices in a greased baking dish. Pour the custard over the apples. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Bake the dish: Bake the dish in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the apples are tender.
- Serve warm or cold: This dish can be served warm or cold. It's delicious with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
