A delightful dessert combining the comforting flavors of apple and cinnamon in a creamy custard.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the custard.
Lightly grease four ovenproof ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
Greasing the ramekins prevents sticking and makes cleaning easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the caster sugar and plain flour.
Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps in the mixture.
Whisk together the eggs and milk in a separate bowl.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Adding the wet ingredients slowly helps prevent lumps.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then divide them evenly among the ramekins.
Cut the apples into thin slices for even cooking.
Pour the custard mixture over the apples in each ramekin.
Fill the ramekins evenly to ensure consistent baking.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top of each ramekin.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your taste preference.
Place the ramekins on an oven tray and bake for 25 minutes or until the custard is set.
Check for doneness by gently shaking the ramekins; the custard should be firm.
Let the ramekins cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cooling slightly allows the custard to set further and enhances the flavor.
Dust with icing sugar before serving.
Use a fine sieve to evenly dust the icing sugar.
