Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add the sliced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Make the Buttermilk Custard: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup softened butter and 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the yellow color disappears. Stir in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the 2 tablespoons of flour, mixing until just combined. Slowly pour in the buttermilk, beating until the custard is smooth. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Streusel Topping: While the pie is baking, in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 50 mins Add Streusel and Finish Baking: Remove the pie from the oven after 30 minutes and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the custard.
