Vanilla Creme Apple Pie

The zee disaster! This was an all around mistake but here it is and it was good. This was actually supposed to be a tart but that did not work out quite clearly. However it worked out to be a nice pie. I used my mother's amazing pie crust but instead of rolling it out with flour, it was rolled out in confectioner's sugar instead. If you try that with any pie crust it will make it that much better.Vanilla Creme Apple Pie

crust
enough for pie dough for one 9" pie, like a frozen pie crust or if you have some on hand (great instructions, I know)
confectioner's sugar for rolling
vanilla creme
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup caster/superfine sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup and 2 tbsp milk
1/2 vanilla bean
1 1/2 tsp butter
topping
4 medium granny smith apples, peeled and cored and thinly sliced
2 tbsp honey

Roll out the pie crust in the confectioner's sugar into a circle large enough for a 9" pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired. I was in a hurry and just threw the crust in there. Cover the crust with tin foil and place pie weights/beans/any form of weight over the tin foil. Bake the crust for 10 minutes in a 350º oven.
Now for the creme. Whisk the egg yolks and half the sugar(2 tbsp) until pale and creamy. Add the cornstarch and flour and mix until there are not lumps. Set this mix aside. Bring the milk, remaining sugar and vanilla bean to boil in a small saucepan. Once it is boiling, turn off the heat and strain the mix into the egg yolk mixture, stirring the mix together continuously. Pour the creme into a clean saucepan and bring to boil. Stir constantly! Lumps will appear at first but I promise it will become smooth. Boil it for two minutes then remove from heat. Stir in the butter. Pour the mix into a bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the creme so that a skin doesn't form. Or you can use it right away.
Remove the tin foil from the pie crust and spread the vanilla creme on the crust. Arrange the apples on top of the vanilla creme. Bake the pie for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the apples are golden and the pastry is cooked. Leave to cool. Once the pie is cooled(I did not wait for it too cool, probably 30 minutes tops) melt the honey in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until liquidized. Drizzle the honey over the pie and enjoy!
