- Continue the layer again- apple, nuts, nutmeg and custard mixture. You may have to make more depending on how big your ramekins are and how big the apple was.
- Finally, top with one more piece of bread (jam side down this time).

- Pour over the remaining custard mix.
- Place in the fridge and let rest for at least an hour.

What a delicious, light dessert! I enjoyed the combination of tartness from the apricot jam and grated apple, the earthiness of the nutmeg and the crunch of the walnuts. I also thought the texture was just right--spongey and light--and the light vanilla flavor from the custard was perfect. Thank you for this delicious dessert recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm 28, married, and with two furkids-a cute cat, she's an Australian Mist called Kismet, and a chocolate labrador called Indiana Jones. Live in North West Sydney, and have all my life except for a short stint in Germany just after we were married. I am an engineer by degree, but have recently left a large telecommunications company to work in a small Veterinary hospital as a vet nurse.
I like camping and 4wding, fishing and horseriding, having parties and barbeques. We're ex-Scouts and still love to travel even if it's just a short break to the mountains, or to the wine regions. I love baking and experimenting with different cuisines. I wont cook things with too many ingredients, or that are too fiddly, or which take too long (or too expensive for that matter!). I'm a dab hand at modifying the 67c home brand packet cake.
My husband is Swiss-Australian, so I have a bit of that European influence as well, and try to reproduce our favourite Swiss recipes as accurately as possible. I am hopefully trying for my Swiss citizenship once I've studied up for my interview! We love travelling, and after visiting Vietnam in 2008 I'm obsessed with both the country and the cuisine, it's so varied and fresh and amazing!
