How to Make Pennsylvania Dutch Cake And Custard Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a 9-inch pie crust according to package directions. Place in a 9-inch pie plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (or substitute ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ginger, ⅛ tsp nutmeg, ⅛ tsp allspice).
Add the remaining pie filling ingredients (see ingredient list below) to the sugar mixture, and stir until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened margarine and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup sour milk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.
Carefully pour the pie filling mixture over the batter.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the center springs back when lightly touched and the top is golden brown.
While the pie is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the glaze ingredients (see ingredient list below).
Once the pie is baked, let it cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
