Apple Custard Bars
In-season apples get thinly sliced and baked into a thick, creamy custard for these easy bars. Light yet satisfying, they’re versatile enough to serve for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
2
Add the milk to a large bowl or blender along with the eggs, salt, vanilla extract, sugar and flour.

3
Blend until smooth using either a blender or immersion blender, for about ⏱️ 30 seconds. You can whisk by hand, but make sure the mixture is completely smooth before proceeding.
4
Using a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife, slice the apples around the core as thinly and evenly as possible. The thinner the apple slices, the more tender they will be once baked. Discard the cores.

Transfer batter to the parchment lined pan, then use the spatula to smooth out the top and make sure the apples are evenly dispersed.

7
Bake for about ⏱️ 30 minutes, or until golden brown, puffed, and mostly set in the center (a slight jiggle is perfect). Do not overbake or the custard will turn rubbery.
8
Let cool at room temperature, then pop them in the refrigerator to chill completely before slicing.
9
Dust all over with powdered sugar (optional), then cut the bars into 9 large or 16 small squares.
10
Serve bars chilled (my preference) or at room temperature. They will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
