  • Eggs
  • Evaporated Milk
  • Salt
  • Nutmeg
  • Cinnamon
  • Unbaked 9 Inch Pie Shell

How to Make Apple Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust (either homemade or store-bought). Roll it out and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Arrange thinly sliced apples (about 3 medium apples, peeled and cored) in a spiral pattern over the bottom of the pie crust.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the apples.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together: 4 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the apples and cheese.
  7. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  8. Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or chilled, optionally topped with sweetened whipped cream flavored with vanilla and cinnamon.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
