Pie Maker Apple & Custard Pies

Download PDF

Fruit pies are just better with creamy custard. Our Apple Custard pies combine tender sliced apples, a hint of nutmeg and a creamy vanilla custard filling. This one is an "anytime, any excuse" recipe and the indulgent amongst us would probably see nothing wrong with eating 4 of these for dinner (I'm looking at you hubby!).

We used this recipe to make 8 pies in our Kmart Pie Maker, however there was a bit of the filling left over.

Ingredients

• 4 sheets of puff pastry
• 1 x 400g can Ardmona Sliced Pie Apple
• 1 x 100g packet Aeroplane Vanilla Dessert Mix
• 200ml full cream milk
• 300ml thickened cream
• Icing sugar (for decoration)
• Nutmeg

Method

• Combine milk and cream in a large bowl, add dessert mix and beat with an electric mixer until smooth (~2 minutes)
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove from frig, add the pie apple to the dessert mix and gently combine.
• Cut 4 tops and 4 bottoms out of your sheets of puff pastry.
• Spray a little oil on a paper towel and wipe the tops and bottoms of the pie maker holes.
• In your cold pie maker, place a pastry circle in each hole.
• Generously fill each one with apple/dessert mix filling, and sprinkle with nutmeg to taste.
• Put the top pastry circles on, turn on the pie maker and close the lid.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
• Repeat for the next batch of 4 pies.
• Cool the pies on a wire cooling rack and dust with icing sugar.

Prep Time: 40 minutes (including 30 minutes setting time for vanilla dessert mix)
