Cold Fruit Custard

Submitted by MissyIffy

"This is a very simple dessert that uses ordinary ingredients. Can curdle sometimes (but is still edible and tastes the same - just doesn't look as nice), so it's good to be attentive and KEEP STIRRING! Try to use a sweet, crisp apple. I usually use store bought sponge."
