- Insert the sliced apples into the folded phyllo dough and gently press down.
Baking
- Place the assembled dessert in the oven for the first bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Once the first bake is complete, pour the melted butter over the cake and put it back in the oven for another 20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract to create a custard mixture.
- After the second bake, remove the cake from the oven and slowly pour the custard mixture over the top.
- Bake again for an additional 15–20 minutes until the custard is set.
- While the cake is baking, combine the remaining sugar and water in a pot to make a syrup. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer until slightly thick.
- Once the final bake is done, drizzle the syrup over the warm Crinkle Cake with Phyllo Dough.
