- Bake for 45-50 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool.
- For custard, heat milk in a saucepan until just simmering.
- Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth.
- Slowly add hot milk to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until custard thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Serve warm slices of toffee apple pie with creamy custard poured over or on the side.
