- Author: Rachel VanDuzer
- Yield: 6 1x
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 Granny Smith or Fuji apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell (in pie pan)
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a medium saucepan, mix brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, water, butter and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling.
- Add apples, stirring so they become well-coated with the sugar mixture. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg, granulated sugar, pumpkin, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, allspice, cardamom and milk, making sure they are well combined.
- Scoop apple mixture into pie crust, and then scoop the pumpkin mixture evenly over this to create a second layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower temperature to 375°F. Bake about 40 minutes more, until filling is set.
- Let the pie cool before serving.
