Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
- Turn the apple mixture into a greased 10-inch pie plate.
- In a bowl, beat milk, softened butter, eggs, and sugar until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the milk mixture over the apple mixture in the pie plate.
- Sprinkle Bisquick Streusel on top of the filling.
- Bake at 325°F until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the milk mixture. If you're out of Bisquick, a homemade streusel mix of flour, butter, and sugar works well. Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for complexity; Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are excellent choices. Make sure to grease the pie plate thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. This pie pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a delightful dessert spread, consider offering it alongside Texas Pecan Pie or Shaker Lemon Pie for variety.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or warm the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. This keeps the crust crispy and the filling warm.
