Ingredients
- 2 large fresh apples
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup sherry
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 eggs, well beaten
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
- 1 sheet puff pastry dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stew apples until very tender. Push stewed apples through a fine sieve to puree. Mix together 3/4 cup of apple puree, sugar, sherry, butter, eggs, heavy cream, lemon juice and nutmeg. Line a deep, 8-inch, pie plate with the puff pastry. Pour apple mixture into the pie crust and bake about 1 hour, or until set. It will look similar to a pumpkin pie. Cool before serving.

Reviews
Too much sherry in recipe. Otherwise sort of bland . Would also omit lemon juice.
The recipe was very easy to follow and the results were excellent. It was a delicious custard, but a bit too much sherry for my taste. Next time I would reduce the sherry and substitute some apple juice. Could even use a different liquor, I ‘spose. Thanks for sharing this! Hope you show this special again this year.
