How to Make Maple Apple Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line the unpricked pie crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Cool the crust completely on a wire rack.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples and brown sugar.
- Cook and stir until apples are tender and coated, about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the apples cool to room temperature.
- Spread the cooled apples evenly into the prepared pie crust.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and maple syrup until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in milk until fully incorporated.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot filling into the egg yolks to temper them.
- Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan and whisk constantly.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for 2 minutes more, while stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Cool the cream filling to room temperature without stirring.
- Pour the cooled cream filling over the apples in the pie crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Serve the pie topped with whipped cream. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator.
- Yield: 6-8 servings
