CUSTARD APPLE PIE



Custard Apple Pie image

I found this recipe when I was looking for an alternative to double crusted apple pie but a little fancier than the Dutch version. This actually calls for peaches instead of apples, but having none on hand and "baker's itch" I substituted apples,added the cinnamon,and it turned out so well that I have yet to try it with peaches. I like it best served a little warm.

APPLE CUSTARD PIE



Apple Custard Pie image

Don't be intimidated by the kataifi (shredded phyllo); it's easy to find and comes in a big bunch that you simply need to pull apart before baking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h25m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ounces frozen kataifi (shredded phyllo), thawed (1 cup packed)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 baking apples, such as Pink Lady, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
Salt
1/2 cup semolina flour

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Arrange a 1/2-inch-thick layer of kataifi into the bottom and up and over the sides of a 9-inch pie plate (it will shrink during baking); brush all over with melted butter. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the caramelized apples: Melt butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple wedges and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Transfer apples to a medium bowl.
  • Make the caramel: Add sugar to skillet. Cook over high heat until sugar dissolves and turns medium amber. Remove skillet from heat. Slowly and carefully stir in cream (it will bubble and steam as you add it).
  • Cover bottom of crust with 3/4 cup caramelized apples. Drizzle apples with 2 tablespoons caramel.
  • Make the custard: Whisk to gether egg and yolk in a medium bowl. Bring milk, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add semolina flour, whisking constantly, until mixture starts to bubble, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and slowly whisk one third of the semolina mixture into egg mixture. Return entire mixture to saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour custard over caramelized apples into crust. Let stand until set, about 1 hour. Top with remaining caramelized apples just before serving. Drizzle top of pie with some caramel (reheat if needed). Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a tart-sweet flavor.
  • To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a mixture of lemon juice and water before adding them to the pie.
  • Be sure to cook the custard mixture until it has thickened slightly, but do not overcook it, or it will curdle.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with milk before baking.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This creamy apple custard pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery crust, creamy custard filling, and tart-sweet apples, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results.
