Here’s a simple “melts in the mouth” dessert you can make with 3 apples, 3 eggs, and a glass of milk. It comes out like a soft apple custard pudding—light, creamy, and almost like a baked soufflé with apples inside.
🍎 Soft Baked Apple Egg Custard (Melts-in-mouth style)
🧾 Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (sweet ones work best like Gala or Fuji)
- 3 eggs
- 1 glass milk (about 250 ml)
- 2–4 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence (optional but recommended)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, but great with apples)
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing or richness)
- Pinch of salt
🔪 Preparation
1. Prepare the apples
- Peel and core the apples.
- Cut into thin slices or small cubes.
- Lightly sauté them in a pan with 1 tbsp sugar + a little butter for 5–7 minutes until slightly soft.
- This step makes them soft and “melt-in-mouth” after baking.
2. Make the custard mixture
- In a bowl, whisk:
- 3 eggs
- Milk
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy (no egg streaks).
3. Combine
- Place the cooked apples in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the egg-milk mixture over the apples.
- Gently tap the dish so everything settles evenly.
4. Bake
- Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
- Bake for 30–40 minutes.
👉 It’s ready when:
- The top is lightly golden
- The center is set but still slightly jiggly (like soft custard)
❄️ Serving
- Let it cool for 10–15 minutes.
- You can serve warm or chilled.
- Optional: dust with cinnamon or powdered sugar on top.
🍮 Texture result
- Soft custard base
- Sweet tender apples inside
- Creamy, airy, and literally “melts in the mouth”
