Indulge in the comfort of fall flavors with this irresistibly 'Tasty Applesauce Pie.' This unique twist on a classic dessert combines smooth, unsweetened applesauce with a warm blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, creating an aromatic filling that's both spiced and subtly sweet. A buttery pre-made pie crust serves as the perfect vessel for the rich, custard-like mixture enhanced by eggs, vanilla extract, and a touch of melted butter. With just 15 minutes of prep and baked to golden perfection in under an hour, this easy-to-make pie is a crowd-pleasing dessert for family gatherings, holidays, or any cozy occasion. Serve it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate finishing touch!
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Press it gently into the bottom and sides, then trim any excess dough hanging over the edge.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the applesauce, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and fragrant.
Add the butter to the saucepan and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually stir the egg mixture into the cooled applesauce mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it into an even layer.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Slice the pie and serve as is, or garnish with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
