Ingredients

 

MetricUS

 

1x2x3x

FOR THE DOUGH:

• 500 g flour
• 250 g butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 10 g baking powder
• 150 g warm water

FOR THE VANILLA CUSTARD:

• ½ – 1 pc vanilla pod, to taste
• 500 g milk
• 1 pc egg
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 pinch fine sea salt
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

FOR THE APPLE LAYER:

• 1 kg apples
• 1 pc lemon
• Optional: ground cinnamon

Instructions

 

• First of all, let’s make the tart dough, because it needs to rest in the refrigerator after crafting it;
• So, place the butter cut into cubes in the mixing bowl of the Thermomix and melt it 2 MIN – 40℃ (104℉) – SPEED 1
  
• If you don’t own a Thermomix, simply melt the butter into a preheated pot or in the microwave.
• Leave the butter to cool for 1-2 minutes. In this time, using a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder;
  
• Now, add all the ingredients for the dough into the mixing bowl (or in a bowl/pot) over the melted butter and knead it with your hand or using DOUGH – 5 MIN
  
• Wrap the dough in plastic foil and place it into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes;
• During this time, let’s make the vanilla custard and the apples layer
• For the vanilla custard I used the Vanilla Custard original Cookidoo recipe. If you don’t have a Cookidoo account and neither a Thermomix, I will write you the steps below.

  – Split vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out seeds. Place seeds and vanilla pod in a pot.

  – Add milk, the egg, sugar, salt and cornstarch then cook them at medium heat for 10 minutes while continuously mixing with a whisk

  – Transfer to a serving bowl and use it for your favorite vanilla custard tart pie
• Preheat the oven at 180℃ (356℉)
• Now, it’s time to peel the apples and remove their cores. I grated them using the Thermomix 5 SEC – SPEED 5. You can use a vegetable grater to achieve the same result
  
• Squeeze the lemon and pour the lemon juice over the apples. Add the sugar and the cinnamon and incorporate them into the grated apples, using a spatula;
• Cook the apples into a pan/ pot for 5-10 minutes
  
• Place them into a sieve to remove their juice
  
• Now, it’s time to assembly the apple tart with vanilla custard
• Divide the tart dough in 3 similar pieces
  
• Place each dough between two baking paper sheets and use a rolling pin to stretch the dough. This way, the dough which is very tender will not break and you handle it easily
  
• Place the first dough layer on the bottom of the baking tray covered with baking paper (or greased with butter) and prick it with a fork
  
• Place the apples in order to achieve a uniform layer
  
• Now, stretch the second dough just like you did with the first one and place it over the apples; Prick it with a fork;
  
• Place the vanilla custard over the second dough
  
• Now, stretch the last dough just like you did with the others and place it over the vanilla custard. Prick it with a fork
  
• Place the apple tart with vanilla custard into the preheated oven and bake it for 40 minutes at 180℃ (356℉)
  
• Once the vanilla custard tart pie is baked, remove it from the oven and leave it to cool for 30 minutes before serving it
  
• If you wish, you can sprinkle icing sugar over the vanilla pudding pie

Different ways to make vanilla pudding tart

Vanilla pudding tart is a simple and extremely versatile dessert.

During summer, when we find a lot of fresh fruit, I like to use it to prepare vanilla pudding tart with fresh fruits. These fruits can be berries, strawberries, raspberries, but also exotic fruits, such as pineapple, kiwi, mango. The choice of fruit depends exclusively on the culinary preferences of each one of you.

So, using a soft tart dough and a generous layer of vanilla custard, and at the end decorate it with your favorite fruits, you will effortlessly achieve an absolutely fabulous vanilla pudding tart.

But, vanilla custard can be served just like that, as a simple dessert loved by many children.

Sofia always asks me to prepare vanilla custard and chocolate pudding and combine them, so that I get an absolutely delicious homemade pudding with two layers: vanilla and chocolate.

Believe me, it’s a simple dessert, with a fine texture, and if you make it from scratch, you have total control over the amount of sugar used. So, stop buying such products from stores, because you can prepare them in a few minutes with your own hands.

Kid-friendly apple tart with vanilla custard

You know that I always try to present you kid-friendly recipes. I do this because I know that it can be extremely difficult to find macro friendly recipes that are both enjoyed by adults and suitable for a balanced and healthy diet of the little ones.

In this case, apple tart with vanilla custard is a dessert that has many apples in its composition. And this is extremely beneficial for the diet of the little ones. In addition, if you choose to prepare it in the cold season, a special aroma can be successfully achieved by adding cinnamon.

I love the combination of apples and cinnamon, and that’s why I chose to adapt the Cinnamon Rolls recipe so that I can enjoy this fabulous mix.

But, even for a sweet breakfast or a quick sweet snack, you can try the Apple and Cinnamon Waffles recipe, which I guarantee will conquer you from the first bite.

In addition, because you have total control over the amount of sugar used for this vanilla pudding tart made from scratch, you can choose to use a very small amount of sugar or completely remove the sugar. In this situation, sugar can be successfully replaced with honey or stevia powder.
