Ooo, that’s a cozy classic with a twist 🍎🥧
Here’s a warm Apple Pie with Creamy Custard—think tender spiced apples, flaky crust, and a silky vanilla custard poured over or baked in.

Serve warm custard over warm apple pie 🤍
🔥 Optional: Baked Custard Apple Pie Version
Instead of pour-over custard:
- Mix 1 cup cream + 2 eggs + 1/4 cup sugar + vanilla
- Pour over baked apple pie during the last 15 minutes of baking
- Bake until custard is just set (slight jiggle in center)
Serving Tip
Best served warm with:
- Custard drizzle
- Light dusting of cinnamon
- Optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (yes, both is allowed)
If you want, I can give you a British-style apple pie with thick custard or a French custard-filled apple tart version too. 🍏✨
