Step 1

Butter a 10-inch fluted tart pan with room-temperature butter; sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of the sugar around the sides of the dish.

Step 2

Place the eggs and 1/3 cup sugar in a food processor and mix together for 1-2 minutes until frothy on top and light in color. Add the flour, cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix together and set aside.

Step 3

Peel, core, and slice the apples, with about 4 to 5 slices per apple quarter, or roughly 16 slices per apple. Fan the slices lightly onto the tart pan in any pattern you choose.

Step 4

Pour the batter over the apples, making sure the apples are well coated.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until the top is golden brown and the custard is firm, about 32-35 minutes.

Step 6

Serve either warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream.
