Ingredients
  

  • 1 Prepared Pie Crust
  • 1 Juice of a small lemon
  • 3 lbs Granny Smith Apples
  • 1 cup Sugar plus two tablespoons, divided
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Cloves
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Roll out pie crust (if you are making from scratch) and place inside a pie plate.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Pour lemon juice into a large bowl. Peel, core, and slice all apples and place them in bowl with lemon juice. Lemon juice will help prevent them from browning too quickly.
  • Add 1 cup of the sugar, flour, cinnamon, cloves, and salt to a bowl and whisk together. Pour this mixture over the sliced apples and stir to combine.
  • Dump all the apple slices into the pie crust, pressing down to ensure they all fit inside the crust.
  • Mix in the vanilla to the heavy cream and then pour the mixture on top of all the apples.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on top of the apples.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil or parchment paper to collect ant drips. Place in preheated oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees and bake for 55-65 minutes. You want the pie to be a little jiggly, but not sloshing around when done.
  • Remove pie from oven and let cool to room temperature. Then, place in refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving. Pie is best served cold. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!!
