2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, toss together the sliced apples, Grand Marnier, orange zest, and sugar; set aside for the flavors to blend.
2. In a seperate bowl, make a kind of custard mixture by stirring together the heavy cream, egg, egg yolk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
3. Heap the sliced apples into the crust with a slotted spoon, so it's not too runny.
