Instructions

  • In a skillet, melt sugar and butter together until caramelized.
  • Toss in the chopped apples and cook for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender and beautifully caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks.
  • Warm the milk in a saucepan and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually mix the egg mixture into the warm milk, stirring constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a pudding. Allow to cool.
  • Blend flour, butter, sugar, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice-cold water to form a dough.
  • Encase the dough in cling film and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  • Roll out the dough, cut into circles, and press into tartlet pans. Prick the base with a fork.
  • Layer the vanilla pudding onto the pastry bases, followed by the caramelized apples.
  • Craft a lattice top with remaining pastry dough strips and brush with the egg yolk-milk mixture.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pastry turns golden brown.
  • Allow to cool before serving. Optionally, garnish with powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra delight.
