Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made or homemade pie crust
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set the prepared crust aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss the mixture until the apple slices are evenly coated. Set aside to allow the apples to release some of their juices, about 10 minutes.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and melted butter until smooth. This will form the custard base.
Arrange the spiced apple slices evenly in the pie crust, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern if desired. Pour the custard mixture over the apples, ensuring the apples are well covered but are not floating.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until the custard is set but slightly wobbly in the center and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. The custard will firm up as it cools.
Serve the pie warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
