The next in my apple series is a delicious custard apple tart from Normandy.
This apple tart is best served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It can be kept a day or two and can be reheated before serving on the following day. I used a Pyrex dish, 24 cm / 9 inches. Feel free to use any kind of apples. I used a variety, some tart, some sweet.
