 minutes more.  Remove foil and beans.  Bake until crust is golden, about 15

 apples are very tender and thickely glazed, 15-20 minutes.  Cool to room
 temperature.
 
 Heat milk in saucepan until bubbles appear around edge of pan.  Whisk yolk,
 syrup, cornstarch and vanilla in bowl until smooth.  Gradually whisk in milk.
 Return mixture to saucepan.  Stir over low heat until thickened.  Remove

 Spoon apples into crust.  Top with hot maple mixture; smooth top.  Cool to
 room temperature.  Refrigerate until custard is firm, about 1hour.  Beat cream
 in bowl until soft peaks form.  Beat in sugar and cinnamon until firm peaks
 form.  To serve, decorate with whipped cream.
