Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows the oven to reach the ideal temperature for baking your pie.
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss the apples until they are evenly coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will create the custard-like base for your pie.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Carefully pour the custard mixture over the apples, ensuring that it covers them evenly. The apples will float slightly, but that’s normal.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set up a bit more.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips
- For the best flavor, use crisp, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Don't overmix the custard base - just whisk until ingredients are combined to keep the texture light.
- Check the pie at 40 minutes - ovens can vary, and you want a golden top without burning.
- Let the pie rest after baking to allow the custard to set properly.
- For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon before serving.
- This pie is best served the same day but can be refrigerated and enjoyed for up to 2 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
