Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Press it gently into the bottom and sides, then trim any excess dough hanging over the edge.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the applesauce, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the butter to the saucepan and stir until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 7

Gradually stir the egg mixture into the cooled applesauce mixture until fully combined and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 9

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 11

Slice the pie and serve as is, or garnish with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
