Ingredients:

• 1 pastry for a single crust pie
• 1 16-oz jar applesauce
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar (or sugar substitute for baking can be used)

Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with pastry; flute edge. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl whisk together apple sauce, evaporated milk, cinnamon, and eggs. Mix flour and sugar together, then mix into apple mixture until well combined. Pour into lined pie plate. Place pie plate in a shallow baking pan and place on middle rack in oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes: Cool completely and serve with a nice vanilla/cinnamon ice cream or whipped cream. It's a wonderfully different custard-type pie similar in consistency to a pumpkin pie.

Number of servings: 8
