Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups sliced peeled granny smith apples (5 medium)
1 frozen deep dish pie crust
1/2 cup all-purpose
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400°F. Place cookie sheet in oven to heat. In 1-quart saucepan, cook 1/4 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and lightly browned. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • 2. In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the egg with wire whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in cooled butter. Gently stir in apples. Pour into crust-lined pie plate.
  • 3. In medium bowl, stir together all streusel ingredients except butter. With pastry blender or fork, cut in 1/4 cup butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples. Place pie on cookie sheet in oven.
  • 4. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F, and cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool 2 hours.
  • 5. In small bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining topping ingredients; beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon onto pie.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples offer unique flavors and textures, so using a mix will create a more complex and interesting pie.
  • Don't overcook the apples. Apples should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked apples will become mushy and the pie will be less appealing.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is the base of the filling, so it's important to use a good quality product.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating the cream cheese will make it dense and heavy. Beating it just until smooth is all that's necessary.
  • Use a flaky crust. A flaky crust will provide a delicious contrast to the creamy filling.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Creamy apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With a few simple tips, you can make the best creamy apple pie ever. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give creamy apple pie a try.
