Apple Caramel Custard

Delicious apple dessert that will blow your mind. Dairy-free, Gluten-free, and Nut-free.

Today was a stressful day at school and I wanted to relax. I went to my kitchen and started to brainstorm a new dessert to make. Something easy and simple. I thought of making vanilla custard. My whole family loved it. However, I wanted to add some fruity taste too it, but not over doing it. I thought of using apples. since it has a soft holiday taste to it.

Inspiration:

I had gotten this recipe from a very popular website called Minimalist Baker. However, in this recipe I modified the amount of sugar and other ingredients to make it healthy and to make the quantity a little less. I also created an apple caramel to make it taste a little warm and add a little texture to it.
