“Pie a la Mode – How to Make a Perfect Sweet Treat”

We all have that favorite treat that is easy to whip up in no time – whether it be a cookie or cake – but have you ever considered making your own piece of pie? Making your own homemade pie can be a delightful treat for any occasion! Here is a recipe for a classic ‘pie a la mode’ – perfect for an afternoon snack, after-dinner dessert or even a sweet breakfast!

You will need:

– A premade store bought or homemade pie crust

– 3/4 cup sugar

– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon cinnamon

– 3/4 cup milk

– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

– 4 tablespoons butter

– 4 medium-size apples

– 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the store bought or homemade pie crust in an 8 inch pie pan.

Mix together the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl.

Heat the milk, vanilla extract and butter together in a saucepan until the butter is melted.

While the milk mixture is heating, peel, core and slice the apples into thin slices. Place the apples in a separate bowl and add the lemon juice, then toss to combine.

Once the milk mixture is heated through, add the sugar mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Add the apples to the milk mixture and stir.

Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust and spread evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the apples are golden brown.

Enjoy your perfect piece of pie a la mode – whether on its own, with ice cream, or your favorite topping. Bon appétit!
