For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. If the pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a lovely accompaniment. To avoid a soggy crust, you can blind bake the pie shell for 10 minutes before filling it. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to enhance the flavor of the applesauce custard.
