Apple Cream Pie on wire rack

Luscious Apple Cream Pie

David
In addition to being easy to prepare, this recipe packs quite a punch in terms of flavor. When you're short on time, opt for store-bought, unbaked pie crust, but you'll really be glad you tried my Perfect Pie Crust.

Ingredients
 
 

Pie Crust

Filling

  • Cup Granulated Sugar 133g
  • ¼ Cup Light Brown Sugar packed - 50g
  • ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour 30g
  • ½ Tsp Ground Cinnamon 1g
  • Tsp Kosher Salt 0.75g
  • ¾ Cup Sour Cream room temperature - 184g
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream room temperature - 120g
  • 1 Large Egg lightly beaten
  • 3 Cups Apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith peeled and chopped - 375g

Topping

  • Cup All-Purpose Flour 42g
  • Cup + 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar 80g
  • ¼ Cup Old-Fashioned Oats
  • 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon 2g
  • 5 Tbsp Unsalted Butter very cold, do not cut in chunks - 57g

Egg Wash

  • 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • 1 Tbsp Cream or Whole Milk 15g

Instructions
 

  • Place a baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat to 400°F / 204°C.
  • Place a raw, rolled-out pie crust on a 9" or 10" pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges if desired (see my perfect pie crust recipe and video for crimping technique). Set the pie shell aside.

For the filling

  • Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
  • Add the sour cream, heavy cream, and egg to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
  • Add the wet mixture to the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until fully mixed.
  • Add the chopped apples and stir to combine. Let the apples soak in the cream mixture as you prepare the topping.

For the topping

  • Add the flour, sugar, oats, and cinnamon to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Using a box or hand grater, grate the cold butter over the flour mixture. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the grated butter into the flour mixture until crumbly and no pieces remain that are larger than the size of a pea.

Assembling and baking the pie

  • Pour the apple filling into the unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling until fully covered.
  • Lightly beat the egg white and cream in a small bowl using a fork. Brush the rim of the pie with egg wash until coated.
  • Place the pie in the preheated oven on the hot baking sheet, and bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the center of the pie is set. It should not jiggle.
  • Let the pie fully cool before serving.
