It's spiced apple season! Instead of the most obvious option, apple pie, I made these spiced apple and custard filo rolls. Apple and custard sounds like an odd combination, but trust me, they go surprisingly well!
You could make custard with custard powder. But custard cream made from scratch tastes sooo much better and it is definitely worth the time and effort.
Ingredients：
apple filling
1tbsp butter
3 apples (peeled and diced)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1tbsp cinnamon
1tsp nutmeg
1/2tsp vanilla extract
a dash of lemon juice
1tsp corn starch
custard cream
1tbsp butter
1 cup milk
3 egg yolk
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2tbsp cake flour
to assemble
12 filo sheets
1/3 cup olive oil or melted butter
honey
Steps：
apple filling
1. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add apples, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the apples get softer. Stir occasionally.
2. Dissolve corn starch in 1 tbsp water. Pour into the apple mixture and bring to boil until it thickens to desired thickness. Dish up and let cool completely.
custard cream
1. Cook butter and milk in a pan over low heat, until it comes just up to the boil.
2. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar and flour in a bowl. Pour the boiled milk in and whisk until smooth.
3. Strain the mixture into a pot. Cook over low heat and stir frequently until thickened. Dish up and let cool completely.
to assemble
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Lightly brush 1 filo sheet with oil. Then place another sheet on top.
3. Spoon the spiced apple and custard cream onto the sheets, leaving a border of about 1.5 inches uncovered at the bottom and the sides. Fold the bottom border up over the filling, fold in both sides and then gently roll up all the way.
4. Place the rolls, seam side down, on the prepared pan. Brush the top with butter and drizzle on honey. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.
