Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling:
- 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and flute the edges.
- Prepare the apples: Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the crust.
- Mix the sugar and spices: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then sprinkle this mixture over the apples.
- Whisk the custard: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the apples, allowing it to fill in the gaps.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Cool and serve: Let cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- This pie is best served chilled or at room temperature.
- You can use a store-bought crust for ease or a homemade one for extra flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving for a pretty finish.
