How to Make Birds Nest Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and thinly slice 6-8 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced). (Consider using a food processor for efficiency)
- Evenly divide the sliced apples between two greased 9-inch pie plates.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 cup sour milk (or buttermilk), and 1 large egg.
- Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly over the apples in each pie plate.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- While the pies are baking, prepare the topping (see separate topping instructions below).
- Carefully remove the pies from the oven and immediately invert them onto serving plates.
- Sprinkle the prepared topping generously over the warm apples.
- Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite topping.
