The custard-apple, also called bullock's heart or bull's heart, is the fruit of the tree Annona reticulata. This tree is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree sometimes reaching 10 metres (33 ft) tall and a native of the tropical New World that prefers low elevations, and a warm, humid climate. It also occurs as feral populations in many parts of the world including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, India, Australia, and Africa.[citation needed] The fruits are variable in shape, heart shaped, oblong or irregular. The size ranges from 7 centimetres (2.8 in) to 12 centimetres (4.7 in). When ripe, the fruit is brown or yellowish, with red highlights and a varying degree of reticulation, depending on variety. The flavor is sweet and pleasant. In some regions of the world, "custard-apple" is another name for sugar-apple or sweetsop (Annona squamosa), a different plant in the same genus. In Britain, "custard-apple" refers to cherimoya, the fruit of Annona cherimola, a third plant in the same genus.
If are making a homemade custard pie, just leave it in the oven until it is as brown as you want it. If it is not brown enough when the recipe says it should be done, leave it baking, but check on it every five minutes. Alternatively, you could put it under the broiler for about five minutes.

The hot water produces steam, providing a very moist baking environment. The water also heats up more slowly and evenly than the air in the oven, and insures consistent, even cooking of the custard.
It will not be quite as rich but it should set up and be fine.
Should last a few days in the fridge, I wouldn't keep it longer than a week.
The plant you are referring to is called "May Apple". The small ripe fruit is edible in the fall. The rest of the plant is poisonous. It is called "May Apple" or "Custard Apple" though it is not known why - the fruit ripens in the fall, as stated above.
Custard is a range of preparations based on milk and eggs. Most commonly, custard refers to a dessert or dessert sauce, but custard bases are also used for quiches and other savoury foods

Cookies- especially Mantecados and Polvorones.

The experts at 'pieofthemonthclub.org' say that you can freeze egg custard. See The Pie Expert's Handy Dandy Guide to Freezing and Storing Pie on the link below.
For baked custard, no starch is used. The egg thickens it. For packaged custard mix such as Birds Custard, the thickener is cornflour or cornstarch and there is no egg.

Custard apples are usually picked unripe, as they spoil easily when left on the tree. In general, the skin stays green but changes to a cream color between the segments. Some varieties may only show this color change near the stem. You can also squeeze them very gently, and they will 'give' a little, much as an avocado does.
Egg custard is so named because the main ingredient is eggs. A typical recipe would be 7 medium size eggs, 1 pint of full fat milk, 2oz castor sugar and optional vanilla pod or vanilla flavouring.
