Crust

Burnt Honey Topping

Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the unsalted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Form the Dough

    Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pre-bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place the dough in the dish, prick the bottom with a fork, and pre-bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. 5

    Add Roasted Apples

    Fold in the roasted apples gently into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

  3. 6

    Fill the Pie Crust

    Pour the apple and custard mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  4. 7

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Burnt Honey Topping

  1. 8

    Prepare the Burnt Honey

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, add honey and cook until it begins to bubble and turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

  2. 9

    Finish the Topping

    Remove from heat, stir in sea salt, and allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the baked pie.

Serve

  1. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Serve slices drizzled with burnt honey topping over each piece.
