Apple Custard Pie Review!!!



Apple Custard Pie




Simple yet elegant, this layered apple custard pie offers a twist on the traditional. Creamy custard pie filling is the perfect pair to a nutty walnut crust.

This is a really good pie. I loved the custard part of this but wasn't crazy about the apples 


on it. I will make the custard part of this again,   I also, think I may try this with peaches instead of apples. The crust is really good also. Here is the link for that.

Ingredients:

Peel apples

Slice

Mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg
Toss with apples

Spread apples in bottom of crust

Put eggs in bowl and lightly mix

Add sugar, vanilla and salt

Mix well 

Add warmed milk
(I forgot to warm milk so after it was all mixed 
up, I microwaved it until very warm. It came out fine)

Pour milk mixture over apples

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until 
knife comes out clean

Remove from oven-cool completely then cover
and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, then


Serve and Enjoy!

Carefully place pie on rack in center of 400°F oven. Bake until knife inserted midway between center and edge of pie comes out clean, 30 minutes.
Step 4

For easier slicing, use a thin-bladed knife. Wipe knife with clean damp towel, or rinse knife under warm water, after each cut.
