Notes

What's the alternative for digestive biscuits?

You can use graham crackers, parle g biscuits, or rich tea biscuits for the base. To make this pie more delicious you could also use oreo cookies and I am sure kids would definitely love it.

What type of apples to use for the filling?

You can use any type of apples like pink lady, granny smith, or simply red apples. I used red apples with skin, if desired, or if you don't like the skin, feel free to peel the apples before slicing.

What can we use instead of corn flor/starch instead?

Corn starch helps in making a thick custard sauce. If you don't have corn starch you can replace it with any flavored or nonflavored custard powder. You can also try adding arrowroot powder to thicken the custard sauce.

How to store Apple custard pie?

Store the leftovers in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them to use later. Make sure to wrap them in freezer-safe bags properly and thaw them a night before serving again.
