How to Make Apple Pie With Fluffy Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 420°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually beat in 2 cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup apple cider or white wine, then gently fold in the remaining 1 cup of flour until just combined.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. While the dough chills, peel, halve, and core 6-8 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp).
  6. Lightly slice the top of each apple half and drizzle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  7. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
  8. Roll out the chilled pastry dough and carefully line the pie dish, ensuring the edges are 3 cm high.
  9. Arrange the apple halves in the pie crust, and sprinkle with ¼ cup granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  11. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  12. Gently fold in the zest of 1 lemon and 1 cup heavy cream.
  13. Carefully pour the cream mixture over the baked apples.
  14. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden.
  15. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
