Apple Egg Custard Pie with Oatmeal Crust





Apple Egg Custard Pie with Oatmeal Crust

That sounds like a wonderfully cozy and flavorful pie! Combining the tartness of apples with a rich egg custard and a wholesome oatmeal crust is a great idea.

Here is a recipe outline for an Apple Egg Custard Pie with an Oatmeal Crust:


🥧 Apple Egg Custard Pie with Oatmeal Crust

This recipe makes one 9-inch pie.

🍽️ Ingredients

For the Oatmeal Crust

For the Apple Filling

  • 3 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

  • 41 cup Granulated Sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

For the Egg Custard


🔪 Instructions

1. Prepare and Bake the Oatmeal Crust

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, pulse the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.

  2. Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

  3. Add Water: Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing only until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. Chill and Roll: Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

  5. Blind Bake: Roll the dough out and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and crimp. Prick the bottom with a fork, line it with parchment paper and pie weights (or dried beans), and blind bake at 375F (190C) for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and paper, and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly set. Let the crust cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with 41 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

  2. Arrange the seasoned apple slices evenly in the bottom of the pre-baked oatmeal crust.

3. Make and Pour the Custard

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are lightly beaten.

  2. Add the 21 cup granulated sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and 41 teaspoon salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.

  3. Gently and slowly pour the egg custard mixture over the apples in the pie crust. The liquid should cover the apples but not overflow the crust.

4. Bake the Pie

  1. Bake the pie at 375F (190C) for approximately 45 to 55 minutes.

  2. The pie is done when the edges are set, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean (or the internal temperature reaches 175F). If the crust starts to brown too quickly, lightly cover the edges with foil.

  3. Cool Completely: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 to 3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the custard to fully set.

Enjoy the delicious combination of the textured oatmeal crust, tender apples, and smooth egg custard!

Alternatively, it can be enjoyed as a small afternoon indulgence. With only 244 calories per slice, this straightforward dessert recipe will not lead to excessive calorie intake!

Homemade pie recipes have always held a special place in my heart. My affection for custard pies began when my sister-in-law Carol, affectionately known as 'The Pie Queen,' began preparing her raspberry custard pie.

However, my love for pies extends beyond that! I have a variety of favorite pie recipes, including Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie and Shoo Fly Pie, which I consider to be akin to family.

The recipe I am sharing today serves as a foundation for all the delightful berry desserts that Carol creates. The charm of this egg pie lies in its ability to stand alone (no pun intended). It might just be the most delicious thing I have tasted since the invention of sliced bread!

Have you ever heard the saying that simplicity is key? This dessert exemplifies that notion. It is a straightforward, traditional, no-frills dessert recipe.
This past Sunday afternoon, I found myself in the kitchen after a first-time visit to Costco, located just up the road in Green Bay.

The abundance of berries was overwhelming, and with a special dinner planned at our church this week as an excuse, I filled my cart without a clear idea of what I would be preparing.

🥘 What’s in it

After a few short hours, along with nearly a dozen eggs and nine or ten cups of flour, the five pies I produced provided a satisfactory outcome.

Ingredients
Ingredients required to prepare the recipe.
Let us begin by assembling the necessary ingredients for this traditional recipe. In culinary terms, this is referred to as Mise en Place, which means Everything in its Place.

Not only does preparing your ingredients in advance expedite the cooking process, but it also ensures that you have everything required to create the dish.

*This is the traditional recipe, but you are welcome to enhance the custard filling with cinnamon, almond extract, lemon zest, or orange zest before baking.

How to prepare Egg Custard Pie
This is my straightforward recipe for sweet pie dough. If you prefer not to create your own homemade pie crust, you may opt for a store-bought crust available at your local grocery store.

  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse the dry ingredients three times to blend.
  • Add the very cold butter pieces to the flour mixture.
  • Pulse at one-second intervals until the butter is incorporated.
  • Add the egg to the food processor.
  • Pulse until the dough forms a ball on the blade of the processor.
  • Transfer the dough from the food processor onto a floured surface, and carefully detach the blade. Flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate and chill for 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Utilize a rolling pin to flatten the pie dough into a circle that extends 2 to 3 inches beyond the edges of the pie pan.
  • Carefully wrap the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it into the pie pan.
  • *Refrigerate until required.
  • Separate one egg, placing the white and yolk into distinct bowls. Whip the egg white, then apply it to the crust using a brush.
  • Position the unbaked pie crust on the center rack of a preheated oven and par-bake it for 7-8 minutes. Afterward, take the crust out of the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • *This technique eliminates the need for pie weights.

  • Combine five eggs along with the saved egg yolk from the crust, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and whole milk in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the custard mixture until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the par-baked pie shell, then place it on the center rack of the preheated oven at 375 degrees and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the egg custard pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.

  • Position a baking sheet on the bottom rack beneath the pie to catch any potential spills.

Recipe FAQs

What ingredients are used to make egg custard pie?
The traditional recipe consists of either a homemade or a store-bought pie crust, along with eggs, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, heavy cream, whole milk, and ground nutmeg.

What causes my pie to be watery?
The primary cause of a watery custard is insufficient baking time. Additionally, if the eggs are not whipped adequately and not mixed thoroughly with the other components, this can also lead to a watery texture. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that you beat the egg mixture thoroughly and bake it long enough to solidify the custard.

How can I prevent the crust from becoming soggy?
To avoid a soggy crust, you can apply a layer of egg whites and par-bake the crust prior to adding the custard.

FILIPINO STYLE EGG PIE


 FILIPINO STYLE EGG PIE

Creamy, Golden, and Irresistible 🇵🇭

Filipino Egg Pie is a beloved bakery classic—smooth, lightly sweet custard with a rich golden top, baked in a flaky crust. Found in nearly every panadería across the Philippines, this iconic dessert is simple, comforting, and deeply nostalgic.


What Makes Filipino Egg Pie Different

Unlike Western custard pies, Filipino egg pie:

This pie is traditionally served chilled or at room temperature and pairs perfectly with coffee or afternoon merienda.


Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

Egg Pie Filling

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Zest of 1 calamansi or ½ lemon (optional but authentic)


How to Make Filipino Style Egg Pie

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges.


Step 2: Make the Custard

In a large bowl:

  1. Whisk egg yolks and whole eggs until smooth.

  2. Add condensed milk and evaporated milk.

  3. Stir in vanilla and calamansi or lemon zest.

  4. Mix gently to avoid incorporating air bubbles.


Step 3: Fill the Pie

Carefully pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust.


Step 4: Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until:

  • Center is just set with a slight jiggle

  • Top is golden yellow

  • Knife inserted near the center comes out mostly clean


Step 5: Cool and Chill

Cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing for clean, bakery-style slices.


How to Get the Signature Golden Top

  • Use extra egg yolks (do not skip)

  • Bake on the center rack

  • Avoid overmixing to prevent bubbles

  • Do not cover while baking

The golden surface is the hallmark of authentic Filipino egg pie.


Serving Suggestions

  • Serve chilled or slightly warm

  • Pair with barako coffee or hot chocolate

  • Perfect for merienda, holidays, or potlucks


Tips for Authentic Filipino Egg Pie

  • Condensed milk provides sweetness—do not add sugar

  • Evaporated milk creates creamy structure

  • Calamansi zest adds subtle brightness (optional but recommended)

  • Let the pie rest—flavor improves after chilling


Why This Recipe Works

This recipe mirrors classic Filipino bakery egg pie: rich from egg yolks, creamy from evaporated milk, naturally sweetened with condensed milk, and baked gently for a smooth, custard-like texture that slices beautifully.

OTHER RECIPES


Ingredients

For the Pie Crust 
  • 2 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (or two sticks) cut into little cubes and chilled
  • 6 tbsp ice water
For the Egg Pie Filling
  • 5 egg yolks from large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 can condensed milk 300 ml
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 egg whites from large eggs

Instructions

Make the Pie Crust

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt just until combined. 
Add the chilled pieces of cubed butter and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter
The mixture should look like a coarse meal with some bits of flat pieces of butter still visible.
Add ice water and continue to incorporate the ingredients using the pastry cutter until big clumps start to form. 

The dough should now come together when pressed with your fingers. 
If the dough is still too dry, or if some flour are still loose and not incorporating, add more ice water, about a teaspoon at a time just until the dough is forming together when pressed. 

The dough should not be really wet to the touch. Instead, it should just be moist enough to cling together when pressed with your fingers.
Turn the dough over on a floured surface. Gather any loose crumbs and divide the dough into two equally sized balls. Flatten each slightly to form discs. Wrap them individually in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight. You can freeze one portion at this point for up to a month.
After chilling, flour a working surface. 
Let the dough rest for about 3- 5 minutes at room temperature. Roll the dough into 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. Flour your surface and your rolling pin as needed to avoid the dough from sticking. Gently lift the dough by wrapping it into the rolling pin and lower it down into your pie plate, centered. Ease the dough into the edges of the pie plate. Cut the excess dough hanging on the sides and decorate the edge of the dough by making crimples with your fingers. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 400 F. 
Cut a piece of parchment paper that is enough to cover the entire pie shell. 
Position it over the pie shell and fill it with uncooked rice or dried beans
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the pie weights and the parchment and bake for another 5 minutes. 
Take it out from the oven and allow to cool while you prepare the filling. 
Cool. Enjoy the FILIPINO STYLE EGG PIE recipes !!!
