Recipe(tried): Glazed Apple Cream Pie

The request for a custard bing cherry pie reminded me to post a pie recipe I've been meaning to share for a long time. I think it was a Bake-Off finalist. It's a different twist on an apple pie, and reminds me of the glazed apple bars we sometimes bought at a bakery when we made a trip "to town." Hope you enjoy it.Glazed Apple Cream Pie
