How to Make Apple Buttermilk Custard Pie

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the crust: Roll out pie dough to a 14-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. Fold edges under and flute.
3. Refrigerate the pie crust while preparing the filling and streusel.
4. Prepare the streusel: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup (65g) packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in 1/4 cup (50g) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate.
5. Prepare the apple filling: In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for 10 minutes, or until apples are tender. Stir occasionally.
6. Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
7. Prepare the custard filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
8. Pour the custard filling over the apple mixture in the pie crust.
9. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30 minutes.
10. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
11. Sprinkle the refrigerated streusel evenly over the pie.
12. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the streusel is golden brown.
13. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the custard to set properly and enhances flavor.
