This old fashioned apple custard is a simple, yet delicious dessert.
I love simple old fashioned recipes like our grandmothers and great grandmothers used to make. The kind of recipes that use simple and basic ingredients that we always have on hand. The kind of recipes that are often forgotten.
I named this recipe old fashioned apple custard, because it is inspired by older recipes that I had seen for apple custard pie. They were all about the same and were basically a custard pie with apples. I decided to take that basic idea and turn into more of an apple custard or crustless apple custard pie.
What I ended up with was a dish my family loved! This is simple, yet delicious. And it is perfect for fall.
