Apple custard pie

Ingredients:

• a pie crust
• about 4 apples
• 2 or 3 eggs
• about 1/2 cup of crème fraîche
• a couple of tablespoons of honey
• spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc.
• vanilla

First make a pie crust. You can probably get that done while sauteing the apples, and you’ll be preheating the oven while you’re at it. Eventually you’ll want the oven temp around 350 F. Peel and chop the apples. Saute them in some butter, sprinkling in the spices you like – I use cinnamon and nutmeg. While they’re getting soft, mix up the eggs, crème fraîche, vanilla, and honey. Slowly mix in the hot apples once they’re soft, then dump the whole mess into the pie crust. Bake at 350 F until it looks golden brown and set, around 30 minutes or so. I sometimes bake it around 15 minutes at 350, then 325, then 300 – I think the texture turns out nicer that way. You will be sorely tempted to eat it hot, but it is quite a bit better chilled and topped with whipped sweetened crème fraîche.
