Apple Custard Pie

My sister made this awesome pie for our step-dad for his birthday - I only had one bite since it was his b-day present :) but that one bite I had was oh-so-delicoius! Enjoy this recipe while it's apple season and you can visit your local orchard and get some good apples and at a good price!

Apple Custard Pie

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter/margarine, melted
1/2 cup corn syrup (dark or light)
1 tsp vanilla
2 large apples, peeled/thinly sliced
1 pie crust (unbaked), 9 inch
2 tbsp walnuts (optional)

In medium bowl, combine sugar and corn starch. Whisk in eggs.

Stir in margarine, corn syrup and vanilla.

Fold in half of the apples. Pour into pie crust.

Place remaining apples in overlapping circle on top of pie. Sprinkle with walnuts (optional).

Bake in 375 degree oven 50 minutes or until center of pie is set. Cool on wire rack.


My sister's notes:
It was more like an hour for the pie to "set." It still looked a little watery/buttery on top when I took it out. But thankfully, it had set!
The next few pictures are of a Dutch Apple Pie I made last week! ('Tis the season for apple pie I tell you!) It is a recipe I received from my Mom last year... and I've already posted the recipe, which you can find by clicking on "2009" and then "November."

Before the crumb topping (above) and then after the topping & all baked (below)... The pie turned out soo good!
