Not your typical apple pie - Hershey's Cinnamon Chips are scattered throughout, and in the streusel, giving the apples the cinnamon flavor they deserve. Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
5 cups granny smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced |
1 cup hershey®'s cinnamon chips |
3 tablespoons butter |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
6 tablespoons butter |
2/3 cup hershey®'s cinnamon chips |
2 eggs |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
2. In a large bowl, Mix together 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Stir in sliced apples until coated with sugar mixture. Stir in 1 cup cinnamon chips. Pour filling into pie crust, and dot with 3 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with streusel topping.
3. To make streusel topping: In a medium bowl, mix together 3/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Cut in 6 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in remaining 2/3 cup cinnamon chips.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, or until filling is bubbling and streusel is golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour.
5. While the pie is cooling, prepare the vanilla sauce. In the top of a double boiler over medium heat, whisk together eggs, half-and-half and 1/2 cup sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Spoon sauce (warm or cooled) over slices of pie.
