Apple and Cinnamon Custard Bars

Cake bottom, creamy custard filling & caramelized apple topping baked all at once

A good Custard is always welcome – especially when baked and teamed up with Cinnamon Apple, you have a delicious quick, anytime sweet treat or dessert. These Apple and Cinnamon Custard Bars are one of our favorite week night desserts.

I left the Apple skin on and liked it that way, but my hubby and son reckoned it would have been better without. I suppose that is a personal choice.

You can slice these into rectangular bars or squares and they hold shape perfectly, so it is ideal as a party snack which is easy to add to a finger-dessert platter. The size you slice them into are also to your own preference, but I have found if I serve these to my family for dessert, 9 squares are just fine.

Should you prefer to add the Custard Bars to a sweet party platter, I’d recommend slicing them into smaller bite-sized bars, which would give you around 15 servings.

I have set the Servings in the recipe to 12 portions as that is easy to slice especially if the Apple skin is not peeled.

The base consists of a Custard flavored cake with a thin Custard filling and topped with sliced Apple, sprinkled with Sugar and Cinnamon, which comes together nicely once baked.

    Linda…this recipe sounds and looks delish. Thanks so much for sharing. Anxious to make it, however, would you be kind enough to advise what custard powder is. Is it what we refer to as pudding? If so, would you use instant or regular and what flavor did you use? Also, I'm not familiar with the term caster sugar, but hopefully will be able to find it with other sugars.

    I'm working my way through all of the posts I've missed this past week – this sounds like another winner! Pinned!

    To answer Bonnie's questions ….. A common custard powder here in the States is "Bird's" brand. Although not a common product for us, some stores do carry it and you can usually find it near the pudding mixes or gelatin at your local store if they carry it. It is easily obtained at World Market or on Amazon. Sometimes, you can find it in Indian grocery stores. You may be able to substitute our instant pudding mixes – but I am not sure how it would affect the recipe since it's not technically the same thing.

    As for the caster sugar – it is pretty much super fine sugar – but not powdered sugar. C & H Sugar carries it in a carton and calls it "bakers sugar".

    Hope that helps! 🙂
