Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, trim the edges, and crimp them decoratively. Chill the crust while preparing the filling.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened but not mushy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, heavy cream, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Spread the cooked apple mixture evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Carefully pour the maple cream mixture over the apples, ensuring an even distribution.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set properly.
Serve slices at room temperature or chilled. Top with whipped cream, if desired, for an extra decadent touch.
