Prepare eight 6-ounce baking cups, such as custard cups or ramekins, with a light coating of cooking spray.
Arrange the cups in a shallow, flat-bottomed baking pan.
Whirl all of the ingredients except the apple slices in a blender until smooth.
Pour the custard into the baking cups.
Pour boiling water into the baking pan to about a 2-inch depth.
Bake for about 45 to 60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cups from the hot water and cool at room temperature, then refrigerate.
Serve chilled, garnished with fresh apple slices, if desired.
