Super Creamy Apple Pie Recipe

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
