Puff pastry as required( according to the size of baking pan)
1/2 ltr milk
4 apples (cut into slices)
3 tbspn custard powder
2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Procedure:
1. Boil milk in a sauce pan.
2. Dissolve custard powder in half cup of normal temperature milk.
3. Mix the dissolved custard in the boiled milk and stir continously so that lumps would not form. The thickness of custard is usually thick as compare to normally prepared custard so the amount of custard powder may varry. You can check the thickness by dropping the prepared custard from the spoon and it would not drop completely.
4. In an other pan, make a sugar syrup and add apple slices in the sugar solution after turning off the flame.
5. In a bowl mix apple mixture and custard evenly.
