Apple Season is upon us.

Anyway, I'm working on a new special and my retired city woman who has a local organic farm just dropped by some winesap's and I'm going to make individual apple tarts with some parmigiana reggiano in the crusts to pair up with my rabbit mousse and a local honey infused with some kind of chilli, I have fresh cayenne, so probably use them and some kind of parm tuile.

I will post my unique family recipe for oatmeal apple crumble tart here :

My family recipe: oatmeal apple crumble tart

Here is the recipe for my family apple tart. It's been my favorite since childhood, and I've not seen many like this one. It has a crumbly but stable texture, and is mildly sweet. Ingredients: 4 medium sour apples 200 g whole wheat flour 100 g oatmeal 200 g caster sugar or muscavado sugar if...

This is a perennial hit every fall.

Apple Squares

I got this recipe from my sister. It's really easy to make and delicious. I like it better than crisps as the dried oatmeal topping on crisps has always turned me off. Try it, you'll like it. I recommend you try it with McIntosh apples and walnuts before you think about substitutions...

This variety looks and sounds really tasty. It's interesting to see all different versions from different countries. My daughter's just baked our first traditional apple cake for this season. I'll take a picture later and post it.

The apple tart looks great!

Question for everyone: Once I had an apple pie where the apples were cut in halves and placed in a pie shell. Then a custard was poured over and the entire thing was baked. It was delicious, but I have never seen a recipe like it. The custard was lightly flavored and picked up a lot of the flavor from the apples. The apples were soft and juicy in the pie. Does anyone know of this kind of pie or have a recipe they are willing to share?

I didn’t see exactly what you describe but did find several versions of apple custard pies or tart normande.

Apple Custard Tart

This apple custard tart is a sweet, comforting dessert with complementary textures and great flavours. You'll get a crisp shortcrust pastry case, a creamy, smooth-set custard, semi-soft cinnamon apples and a sweet apricot glaze.

Table Talk commercial bakery used to offer a French apple pie. It was a basic apple pie with raisins added to the filling and vanilla frosting over the top crust.

My usual is a humble apple crisp, topped with vanilla ice cream, as part of an oven meal like meatloaf, baked potatoes, and baked squash.

It sounds great, Aunt Bea. This pie was all baked together without a topping. The custard baked along with the apples and crust. Maybe I will try a custard pie that bakes and just put apples in it.... It might work?

This is half of my daughter's apple cake, after a slice each, she took some to her friends.
