Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!....Desserts

For Thanksgiving, I always make a dessert with apples, and of course with almond/marzipan 

Apple Pastry Cream Tarte

4 apples peeled and finely sliced

2 eggs.

80g sugar.

80 ml milk.

30g melted butter.

Zest of 1 lemon.

80 g wheat flour.

60 grams of raisins

60 grams of sliced almonds

2 cups of vanilla pastry cream

Mix the apples, raisins and almonds. Set aside.

Beat eggs, sugar, salt, and butter until it is golden pale. Add the milk, flour, lemon zest, and baking powder.

Mix the flour mixture with the apples. Place half of this mixture in a baking dish, distribute the vanilla cream pastry, place the remaining apple mix on top. Bake it in a preheated oven at 365F for 30 minutes or until it is cooked.
