Jay's Apple Cider Cream Pie
This apple cider cream pie is thickened with heavy cream and eggs, and flavored with sour cream. It's rather unique, and exceptionally delicious, toeing the line between tangy and sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 3 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Making the crust: Prepare the butter and lard, if using. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch (12-mm) cubes (a bench scraper is perfect for this, but a sharp knife works well too), and cut the lard into small pieces. Return them to the fridge or freezer to cool.
