Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ready-made 9-inch pie crust
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread half of the toffee bits over the pie crust. Pour the apple mixture on top, then sprinkle with the remaining toffee bits. Dot with diced butter.
  4. Cover the pie loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until the crust is golden and apples are tender. Let cool slightly.
  5. For the custard, heat milk and cream in a saucepan until just simmering. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale.
  6. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  7. Remove custard from heat, stir in vanilla extract, then strain to remove any cooked egg bits. Serve warm custard drizzled over each slice of pie.

Notes

For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of chopped toasted pecans on top.
