Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pie:

  • 2 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or a sugar substitute for a low-calorie option)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
  • Cinnamon sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and proper rising of the pie.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them with granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until evenly coated to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
  3. Blend the Batter: In a blender, combine the flour, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Blend on medium speed until smooth and well incorporated, creating a light and airy batter.
  4. Layer the Apples: Grease a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish. Evenly arrange the sweetened apple slices on the bottom of the dish to form the base layer.
  5. Pour the Batter Over the Apples: Carefully pour the blended batter over the apple slices, ensuring the apples remain evenly distributed beneath the batter.
  6. Bake the Pie: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is set, lightly golden, and the edges bubble slightly, indicating a custard-like texture inside.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes to set the layers and facilitate slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • Using tart apple varieties like Granny Smith adds a pleasant contrast to the sweet custard.
  • Substitute almond milk with any preferred dairy or non-dairy milk for variations.
  • For a lower-calorie dessert, use a sugar substitute in place of granulated sugar.
  • Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing to maintain clean slices and distinct layers.
  • Optional garnishes such as whipped cream or vanilla ice cream enhance the richness of the pie.
