  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat the oven to 160°C with fan and top heat.

    Bring the milk with the cream, sugar and vanilla sugar to a boil. Remove from heat. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl and gradually pour the hot vanilla cream into the mixture while stirring. Fill the apples with the custard, add a little water to the baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes until set. Remove, cool, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
