For the dough, combine dry ingredients in food processor and pulse to mix.
Add butter and pulse in. Add egg and continue to pulse until dough forms a
ball. Roll the dough into a 14-inch disk and line a 10-inch tart pan. Chill

Peel, core, halve and slice the apples 1/8-inch thick; arrange on pastry,
overlapping. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. For custard, combine all
ingredients; whisk by hand until smooth and well blended; strain and
reserve.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes or until apples and crust are
baked through. Remove tart from oven; pour on custard cream, being careful
not to let it overflow. Return tart to oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until
custard is set, but not colored or puffed.

Yield: 10-inch tart
