"From Taste of Home. We really like this recipe - the maple flavoring and the creamy filling make this delightfully different from the traditional apple pie."

I made this last night seeing it in my TOH book. I went by the recipe exactly and it turned out delicious! I do have one tip that is a must! In the directions where it tells you to let the maple custard/cream sit and cool, DO NOT do that step. Instead of letting it cool, spread it on top of the apples immediately. Im not for sure why the directions tell you to let it cool before putting over the apples. Because all it does when it cools in the pan is sets up and gets very thick, that you can hardly spread it over top of the apples. So next time I wont bother for the apples or custard to cool and I'll add them in the pie shell warm. That will also cut down on assembly time. My hubby said to give this 10 stars! Delicious and easy! I love the cinnamon whipped cream over top. It makes the whole thing!
