French Apple Custard Tart

If you like custard, you’ll love this unusual apple custard tart. But don’t just take my word for it, bake this in your kitchen and I promise you will fall in love with this wonderful dessert

I love apple desserts so much that I have another post of 11 Apple Tarts. Today, I just made one of the recipes and I must say that it is now one of the best apple tarts I have ever had.

Last summer our family took an amazing trip to France and we dined our way through Paris and Provenance.

On our second day in Paris, we just randomly chose a little cafe that served up organic dishes that were pre-made. I must say that I was a little worried about the flavor of the food, but it turned out to be quite delicious!

We bought an apple custard tart that was was a delightful blend of custard, apples, and crispy flaky croissant crust. And so for the rest of our trip, we kept sampling apple tarts and we were greatly disappointed.

Ingredients

1. 1 box of Pepperidge Farm pastry puff sheets (1/2 a box)
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Thaw half the box of pastry sheets. Use one sheet and cut in half or if you want one big tart don’t slice the dough in half.
4. Cut about a 2- 1/2 inch wide strip on the long ends of the pastry dough.
5. Next, cut one 1/2 inch wide strip on the side. These strips of dough will be the sides of your tart. Take both strips and place one on each side of the rectangle of dough. Pinch the edges so there are no gaps between the dough.
6. Next, take the side strip of dough and place on the short ends and pinch. You should now have a little rectangular tart (see the photos below for an example). Place on a foil-lined cookie sheet. You can place baking beans in the middle of the pastry dough so that it won’t rise above the sides. I baked it without the beans and when it comes out of the oven, I just punched down the flaky crust.
