The classic apple pie is a tried-and-true fall staple. As the saying goes, what’s more American than apple pie? The Thanksgiving dessert table wouldn’t be complete without it! Yet, this year I just might be serving up a new version: German Apple Pie. It’s got all the flavors you know and love, but with a custard-like texture thanks to a generous amount of heavy cream baked right in. Yup, it is every bit as heavenly as it sounds.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- ~6 cups sliced and peeled apples (tart, like granny smith is best)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for top
