Ingredients
Instructions

- Pour the mixture over the sliced apples in the pie crust.
- Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you don't have cream, you can substitute with half-and-half or even a non-dairy alternative for a lighter version. Always Good Pie Crust will ensure your pie has a flaky base.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert. It also pairs beautifully with Mulled Tomato Juice for a unique flavor contrast. A sprinkle of cinnamon on top can enhance the aroma too.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crust's texture while warming the filling.
