MY MOTHER'S APPLE PIE
I am ecstatic!! I think I found my mother's apple pie recipe... the one that I keep going on about... how it was so different than other apple pies!

Steps:
- 1. Buy frozen pie crust or make pie crust (https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/pie/pie-crust-old-recipe.html?p=6) and place in deep dish 10" pie plate -- IMPORTANT: It must be deep dish or it may overflow.
- 2. Thinly slice 5 cups of apples (about 4 apples -- or about 2 pounds) and place in crust. 1/4 inch slices -- to layer up on each other and leave spaces for custard to seep in between
- 3. Mix together the custard filling ingredients and pour it over the apples.
- 4. Top with other pie crust and Bake 400 F for 15 minutes Then bake 350 F for 30 minutes
- 5. ALTERNATE: Some people prefer a streusel topping so here is what you will need for that:
- 6. To make the streusel topping: lightly spoon 1/3 cup all-purpose flour into a measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine the flour with 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Cut 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces; then cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or a fork -- it will be crumbly. Set aside in fridge.
- 7. For Streusel topping: Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees; sprinkle the streusel over the pie and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
- 8. I got the information to flesh out her recipe from: http://veganeveryday.blogspot.com/2010/03/warm-apple-buttermilk-custard-pie.html and also at: http://glutenfreemakeovers.com/tag/gluten-free-apple-custard-pie/
