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:

  • 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.

Conclusion:

Baked apple custard is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet apples, creamy custard, and warm spices is simply irresistible. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting dessert, give baked apple custard a try.
