Custard Apple Bars


Ingredients:

· 3 medium apples

· 1/2 cup flour

· 1 teaspoon baking powder

· 2 eggs

· 1/3 cup granulated sugar

· Pinch of fine sea salt

· 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

· 6 tablespoons whole milk

· 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (but still liquid)

· Confectioners' sugar


Instructions:

1. Heat the oven to 375° F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper, greasing the parchment as well.

2. Peel the apples. If you have a mandoline, slice the apples thinly, turning when you reach the core. If you don't have a mandoline, simply core and slice as thinly as you manage.

3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt for a couple of minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the eggs become pale. Whisk in the vanilla, then the milk and the melted butter. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. With a spatula, gently fold in the apples until each slice is coated. Scrape the batter into the pan and roughly even out the top.

5. Bake the cake for 40 minutes or until golden and uniformly puffed. A skewer in the middle will come out clean. Transfer to a rack to cool, then slice and dust with the optional confectioners' sugar.
