Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the center and heat to 350F (175C). Thoroughly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Combine milk, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and ground cinnamon in a blender. Pulse until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform liquid.
- Layer apple slices across the bottom of the prepared pie dish, creating an even, overlapping pattern that covers the entire surface.
- Gently cascade the blended custard mixture over the arranged apple slices, ensuring complete and uniform coverage. Delicately scatter shredded coconut across the top for additional texture and flavor.
- Transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and a firm, set custard consistency that barely wobbles when gently nudged.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes. This brief cooling period allows the custard to stabilize and makes slicing more precise. Serve either warm for a comforting dessert or chilled for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- Use ripe, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and balanced sweetness in the pie.
- Adjust sugar levels based on apple variety’s natural sweetness, reducing added sugar for sweeter apples.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch before serving.
- Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk to make the recipe dairy-free and accommodate lactose-intolerant guests.
