Warm Apple-Buttermilk Custard Pie

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

To prepare crust, roll dough into a 14-inch circle; fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray.

Fold edges under; flute.

Place pie plate in refrigerator until ready to use.

To prepare streusel, lightly spoon 1/3 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.

Combine 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Place the streusel in refrigerator.

To prepare the filling, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.

Add sliced apple, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; cook 10 minutes or until the apple is tender, stirring mixture occasionally.

Spoon the apple mixture into prepared crust.

Combine remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, salt, and eggs, stirring with a whisk.

Stir in buttermilk and vanilla.

Pour over apple mixture.

Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees (do not remove pie from oven); sprinkle streusel over pie.

Bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes or until set.

Let stand 1 hour before serving.
