Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. one cup of milk
  2. one tablespoon of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Line a deep pie plate with rich pie crust and fill three quarters full of apples, pared and sliced.
  2. Dredge with sugar and put a twist of crust around the edge.
  3. When nearly baked, spread with a thin layer of orange marmalade and pour over a rich custard made of one cup of milk, one tablespoon of sugar and two ^^^ yolks.
  4. Return to oven and bake until custard is set.
