To make this delicious tart, you'll need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

- 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add in the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the egg yolk and ice water, and mix until the dough comes together.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Once the crust is done baking, arrange the apple slices in the crust and pour the custard mixture over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the edges are golden brown.
This Spiced Apple Custard Tart is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The crust is flaky and buttery, while the filling is creamy and bursting with apple and spice flavors. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
