Brown Butter Creamy Apple Pie

Filling

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
5 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (5 medium apples)

Crust

1 frozen deep dish pie crust

Streusel

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold butter

Topping

1/2 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cookie sheet in oven to heat. In 1 quart saucepan, cook 1/4 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and lightly browned. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  2. In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the egg with wire whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in cooled butter. Gently stir in apples. Pour into crust-lined pie plate.
  3. In medium bowl, stir together all streusel ingredients except butter. With pastry blender or fork, cut in 1/4 cup butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples. Place pie on cookie sheet in oven.
  4. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool 2 hours.
  5. In small bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining topping ingredients. Beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon onto pie.
