Ingredients for Apple Pie With Heavy Cream

  • Unbaked Pie Shells
  • 6-8 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • Sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

How to Make Apple Pie With Heavy Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch pie crusts (one for the bottom, one for the top).
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice about 6-8 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix).
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the apple slices with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the bottom pie crust.
  5. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  6. Top with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top crust.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of extra whipped cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
