Ingredients:
- For the Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3-4 tbsp ice water
- For the Filling:
- 4-5 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of the apples)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
Instructions:
- Make the Pie Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to release some juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Assemble the Pie:
- Roll out the chilled pie crust on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
- Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Pour the creamy filling over the apples.
- Bake the Pie:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is set. You may need to cover the edges of the crust with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve plain or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
Enjoy!
