Bring the milk to a boil. Whisk the milk into the yolks mixture, then pour the mixture back to the saucepan. Place on the stove, over a low heat, stirring with a spatula and scraping the bottom of the saucepan to keep it from sticking, until the sauce thickens, be careful not to get scrambled eggs. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly, serve with your apple tart.
