Ingredients

• 1 piece premade pie crust (9-inch)
• 2 cups applesauce (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhang and crimp the edges for a decorative finish. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the applesauce mixture while stirring to ensure everything is evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center when gently shaken.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. The filling will continue to firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Serve slices plain or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
