Apple Crunch Pie with Vanilla Sauce image

Not your typical apple pie! Cinnamon chips are scattered throughout the pie and in the streusel, giving the apples the cinnamon flavor they deserve.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup cinnamon chips (such as Hershey's®)
3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter
⅔ cup cinnamon chips
2 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Stir in sliced apples until coated with sugar mixture. Stir in 1 cup cinnamon chips. Pour filling into prepared pie crust, and dot with 3 tablespoons butter.
  • To make streusel topping: mix together 3/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in 6 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in remaining 2/3 cup cinnamon chips. Sprinkle streusel topping over apple filling.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for until filling is bubbling and streusel is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes more. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • While the pie is cooling, prepare the vanilla sauce. In the top of a double boiler over medium heat, whisk together eggs, half-and-half and 1/2 cup sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Spoon sauce (warm or cooled) over slices of pie.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. It was still a good pie overall.
