Whip the egg whites to soft peak stage. Add 1/3 of the beaten whites to the milktart mixture and stir through with the whisk. Add the remaining egg whites and gently fold in. Dish into the pie dish on top of the cooked apples. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly over the milk tart. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until puffy. Switch off the oven (leave the door slightly ajar), leave tart to stand in the oven to cool for 15 minutes. This milk tart is easier to slice at room temperature Variation: If you want to bake the milk tart without the apple (it makes a lovely crustless milk tart) you must use a slightly smaller, 22cm pie dish. It can be baked for the same length of time. Ina's Tip Custard: Warm 2 ½ cups (625ml) full cream milk, add 1 T (15 ml) of butter and ½ cup (125 ml) of dry Vanilla Cake Mix. Stir non-stop with a wooden spoon over medium heat, until the custard starts to boil. Cook slowly for 2 minutes while still stirring, add 2 – 3 drops of yellow food colour. Serve warm or cold. Makes 3 cups (750 ml) of custard.
