Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 8 servings

• 2 pie crusts (for top and bottom)

Filling:

• .5 cup sugar
• .5 cup milk
• .5 cup heavy cream
• .25 cup butter
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Second Layer:

• 3 to 4 large tart apples (Granny Smith)
• 1 tbsp flour
• .25 tsp cinnamon

Glaze:

• .5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp milk
• .25 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp softened butter

Steps

1. Line pie plate with the bottom crust.
2. Make filling by heating the sugar, milk, cream, and butter, stirring constantly till it thickens, about 5 minutes. Make a paste of the cornstarch, milk and vanilla, then add to the filling mixture. Pour into uncooked shell.
3. Peel and slice apples. Toss with the flour and cinnamon. Layer over the filling. Add the top crust and seal.
4. Bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes. While still warm, brush with glaze.
5. Make glaze with the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
6. Note: I usually double the custard part just because we like it so much.
