Ingredients
- 1 each Large sour apple (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 each Large eggs
- 2 cups Milk (For the Boiled Custard)
- 2 each Eggs (or the yolks of 3 eggs, for the Boiled Custard)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (For the Boiled Custard)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (For the Boiled Custard)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (For the Boiled Custard, optional substitute for one egg)
Instructions
- 1Peel and grate the apple. As you grate, sprinkle with 3/4 cup of powdered sugar to prevent browning.
- 2In a clean bowl, add the unbeaten whites of two eggs. Beat constantly for 30 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- 3In a double boiler, heat 2 cups of milk. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs (or the yolks of 3 eggs) with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Return the mixture to the double boiler and cook, stirring, until the custard coats the back of a spoon. If the mixture curdles, place the boiler in a pan of cold water and beat with a wire whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If desired, the whites of the eggs may be beaten separately and added to the custard after it is cold or beaten with sugar into a meringue.
- 4Arrange the apple mixture in a mound on a glass dish. Surround with the cold boiled custard.
