A classic Amish apple pie featuring tender sliced apples in a creamy vanilla and cinnamon sauce, perfect for comforting desserts and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place sliced apples in the unbaked pie crust.
- Combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Add heavy whipping cream, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture.
- Blend the mixture well until smooth.
- Pour the cream mixture over the apples in the pie crust.
- Bake on the lowest rack of the oven at 350°F for 25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you prefer a thicker filling, you can increase the flour to 5 tablespoons. Make sure to slice the apples thinly for even cooking and a better texture. For a twist, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or using almond extract instead of vanilla.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Super Skillet Pineapple Upside-Down Cake for a delightful dessert spread. Pair with a cup of coffee or tea to complement the flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a store-bought pie crust for this recipe?
Yes, using a store-bought pie crust is perfectly fine and can save time. Just ensure it's a 10-inch crust to fit the filling properly. Follow the baking instructions on the package, making any necessary adjustments for the filling.
What can I do if my pie crust is too soggy?
If your pie crust turns out soggy, you can prevent this by pre-baking the crust for 10 minutes before adding the apples and cream mixture. This helps create a barrier against moisture, keeping the crust crisp. Additionally, ensure the apples are not too juicy.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check by gently shaking the pie; if the filling jiggles slightly but is not liquid, it's ready. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes.
