SERVING SUGGESTION: I spoon a pool of custard sauce onto individual dessert plates, place an apple in each pool, and drizzle the tops with the custard sauce.
Ingredients
- FOR THE CUSTARD SAUCE:
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup scalded milk
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- FOR THE APPLES:
- 4 baking apples
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup maple syrup
Directions
To make sauce, in the top of a double boiler, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Over hot (not boiling) water, gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat and water; stir in lemon rind and vanilla. Cool, stirring often.
Core apples, starting from stem end, leaving bottoms intact. Peel each apple (from the stem end) two-thirds of the way down. Arrange apples in a shallow baking pan into which they fit slightly apart. Stir together pecans, raisins and cinnamon; spoon into core cavities of apples. Pour male syrup over apples.
Bake in 350-degree oven, basting occasionally with the syrup, until tender--about 45 minutes.
