Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and corn flour.
- Add the chilled butter cubes and using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the sugar and mix well.
- Add the egg yolks and gently mix until the dough begins to come together. If necessary, you can add a tablespoon of cold water to help bind the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with cinnamon and lemon juice until evenly coated. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- In another saucepan, melt the brown sugar and butter over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes caramel-like.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the caramel mixture, stirring continuously until well combined. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the caramel custard to cool slightly.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough gently into the dish, trimming any excess.
- Layer the apple slices evenly in the pie crust.
- Pour the slightly cooled caramel custard mixture over the apples, ensuring it fills in all the gaps.
- Optionally, you can create a lattice top with any remaining dough or simply leave the pie open-faced.
- Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to let the custard set.
- Slice and enjoy your Caramel Custard-Filled Apple Pie. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips:
- For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples to balance the flavors.
- Make sure to preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to work with.
- Brush the top crust with an egg wash for a beautiful golden-brown finish.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to let the custard set properly.
- If you prefer a stronger caramel flavor, consider drizzling additional caramel sauce over the pie before serving.
This Caramel Custard-Filled Apple Pie effortlessly blends the comforting flavors of traditional apple pie with the creamy decadence of caramel custard. Whether served warm or chilled, it is a dessert that promises to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your guests.
