Fast, Healthy and/or Economical food was the theme for our cooking class Saturday night. My favorite item from that class was this apple dessert "Best Apple Custard Tart." I made it, but forgot to give the young women the recipe. You have to have a springform pan to make it, and my guess is most young single adults don't have one. But find one at a garage sale, or thrift store, and make this tart. It is a slice of mild, appley, simple, perfection. The accompanying article explains that most custards call for milk, but not this one. That is why I decided to try it. The custard is made from apple cider and lemon juice, with a little egg, sugar, cornstarch and butter. The tart looks very elegant. But it takes only about 40 minutes to make.

Oh, and about the healthy part. Yes, this uses 1/2 cup of butter so you better invite 5 other people to eat the tart with you, because if you eat the whole thing alone--which you would be tempted to do--you'd hate yourself in the morning. So if you just eat one generous slice, you can count this as a worthwhile treat.
