Custard Apple Pie


My family unanimously agreed this is one of the best pies they’d ever tasted. Made it for a New Years get-together. Used Pillsbury refrigerated pie dough (kind that you roll out) and put in a glass pie plate. This allows you to crimp some fancy edges on your pie so people will think you made the dough from scratch, too :~) The filling amount that the recipe called for was absolutely the perfect amount, but I only used about 2/3 (not 2/3 cup) of the streusel topping mixture. It covered the pie completely and was quite thick–any more would have been too much. Also, I used 1 cup and about 2 Tbl of white sugar instead of the 1 1/3 cup in the buttermilk filling and the sweetness was perfect.
