Make this easy apple custard impossible pie that magically forms its own crust. This one-bowl dessert features tender apples layered beneath a creamy custard filling for a comforting, golden-baked treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with the cinnamon and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, flour, and salt.
  4. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth.
  5. Slowly whisk in the melted butter until fully combined.
  6. Arrange the cinnamon-dusted apple slices evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
  7. Gently pour the custard batter over the apples. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. The layers will form during baking.
  9. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. The custard will firm up as it cools.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of apple varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
  • If you prefer a slightly thicker crust layer, you can add 1/4 cup of shredded coconut to the batter.
  • Serve this cozy fruit-filled treat warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
