Baby’s Apple Custard Recipe
Jun 26th, 2008 by Christine
Today we have a great recipe for a simple apple custard sent into us by Delmae from Hollywood, Florida. Unlike many custard recipes, this one is sugar free and uses only egg yolk - not the white - making it suitable for babies from 6 months onwards who have been separately introduced to all the ingredients beforehand.
Here’s what you’ll need to make Baby’s Apple Custard…
2 beaten egg yolks
8 fl oz (1 cup) milk - you may use whole milk, breast milk or formula
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 small, sweet apple, peeled, cored and diced
Simmer the apple in a very little water until tender, then mash thoroughly or puree.
Put the apple into the bottom of a small oven-proof dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 deg C).
Stir the beaten egg yolk and the vanilla into the milk, then pour the mixture over the cooked apple.
Sit the dish in the middle of a baking pan and pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the side of the dish (this creates a simple bain-marie!).
Bake for 30 minutes until the custard has set.
Cool and serve chilled.
Thanks, Delmae, for sharing your recipe - we know this will be a big hit with our readers!
