Apple Custard Recipe 2

Ingredients for Apple Custard

• Into a pudding pan put 1½ quarts of pared, quartered, and cored apples. Sprinkle over them three-fourths cup sugar and one-fourth teaspoon salt. Bake till tender. While the apples are baking, prepare a custard from the following ingredients:
• ¾ quart milk
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 whole eggs and two yolks
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Warm the milk.
2. Beat the eggs and yolks together, then beat the sugar into them.
3. Stir into them the hot milk, vanilla, and salt, and beat well together.
4. This should be ready when the apples are done.
5. Pour this custard over the hot apples, and return to the oven to bake just long enough for the custard to set.
6. A meringue may then be put over the pudding, if desired, by beating the two egg whites and folding into them three level tablespoons sugar, spreading this on the pudding, and setting it on the grate of the oven long enough to color the meringue a light brown.
