1 whole Egg
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cups Granny Smith Apples (or More)

1
First, bake your pie crust according to package directions, or, check out my cherry cobbler recipe for an EASY pie crust recipe to make your own.
2
Preheat oven to 425F.
3
Fashion a foil collar for your pie crust out of strips of foil. Place the foil collar around the edge of your pie crust before you fill with the apples.
4
Mix together your 2 Tablespoons flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, cream, lemon juice, and vanilla; slowly whisk liquid into dry ingredients. Add apples and pour mixture into your baked pie crust.
5
Sprinkle streusel topping over apple filling (recipe below). Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over topping.
6
Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes, then lower your oven to 350F for 30-40 minutes or until set. Remove foil collar the last 15 minutes of baking time to allow crust to brown.
7
Topping:
8
Crumble together 1/2 cup cold butter, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup brown sugar (this makes a great fruit crisp topping as well!)

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
