Puff pastry bought or homemade?
For this pastry with apple and custard, you can use both homemade puff pastry and puff pastry from the supermarket.

That way you’ll always have it on hand if you ever want to make the puff pastry tart. Do not roll out the homemade dough too thinly, so that it tastes flaky after baking.
Make the custard in advance
You can make the custard for the puff pastry tart in advance, for example the day before, and store it in the refrigerator. The next day it will be even a bit firmer and will hold its shape even better when you squirt it onto the pastry.

- Pour the custard into the piping bag with the nozzle and pipe the cream onto each puff pastry square, centered between the two strips.
