Ultra-Creamy Apple Pie
A rich, custardy twist on classic apple pie, packed with tender apples and a silky cream filling. Simple ingredients, quick prep, and an irresistibly creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
-
Prepare the oven and pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie dish with butter or nonstick spray. -
Layer the apples
Spread the sliced apples evenly in the prepared pie dish, creating a uniform layer.
-
Make the egg mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined. -
Add dry ingredients
Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are just incorporated—do not overmix. -
Incorporate the cream
Pour in the heavy cream and whisk or stir until you have a smooth, pourable batter. -
Assemble the pie
Pour the creamy batter over the apples, making sure most of the apple slices are covered. -
Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. -
Serve
Allow the pie to cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips and Variations
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over the top before baking.
- Drizzle warm caramel sauce over each slice just before serving for a caramel apple pie twist.
