Super creamy apple pie

by

Step 1: Make the Crust

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks crumbly.
  3. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough comes together.
  4. Divide into two discs, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Apples

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples soften slightly.
  4. Stir in flour/cornstarch and heavy cream. Cook another 2 minutes until thick and creamy.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out one dough disc and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  3. Pour in the creamy apple filling.
  4. Roll out the second disc and place it on top. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to let steam escape.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  2. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  3. Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
  • Enjoy cold the next day for a chilled, custardy treat.

Tips for Success

  • Mix apple varieties – A blend of tart and sweet apples adds depth of flavor.
  • Don’t skip cooling – The creamy filling sets as it rests.
  • Make it ahead – Bake a day in advance; the flavors get even better overnight.
  • Add crunch – Sprinkle chopped pecans or oats on top before baking for texture.
