Today, we’re making an Apple Custard Pie that’s so good, it might just become the star of your dessert table. Let’s get started!
Feast Your Eyes!
First thing’s first! Check out this glorious creation that we’ll be baking. I mean, just look at it!
Ingredients - Let’s Gather the Good Stuff!
Before we dive into the baking process, we need to make sure we have all the ingredients lined up. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because who has time to make their own?)
- 3 cups of thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith for the win!)
- 1 cup of sugar (because life is short, eat dessert first!)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (a splash of magic)
- 1 cup of heavy cream (yes, you read that right!)
- 4 large eggs (the more, the merrier!)
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (to spice things up)
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (for that cozy vibe)
- Pinch of salt (just a dash for balance)
Instructions - Let’s Get Baking!
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, it’s showtime! Follow these instructions, and prepare to be dazzled.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is like warming up your dance moves before hitting the floor!
- Place your pre-made pie crust into a pie dish. If you’re feeling fancy, crimp the edges! Just remember, they say the prettier the crust, the tastier the pie!
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until combined. Think of it as making a custard smoothie - but don’t drink it!
- Layer the sliced apples in the pie crust. Do it artfully, like a pie Picasso. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt all over the apples.
- Pour the custard mixture over the apples, letting it seep in like a warm hug. Make sure everything’s happily nestled together.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the apples are tender. Your kitchen will smell like a cozy farmhouse in no time!
- Allow it to cool a bit before slicing. Patience is a virtue, and trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!
Serve and Enjoy!
Slice up your masterpiece and serve it warm or cold. Pair it with a scoop of ice cream if you really want to treat yourself! There you have it – your very own Apple Custard Pie that will surely steal the show!
Happy baking!
