Delightful French Apple-Custard Pie: A Heavenly Fusion of Flavors

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cup baking apples, sliced
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 Best-Ever pie crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. 2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, sugar, dark rum (if using), and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the apples are slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, heavy cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and the remaining salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. 4. Spread the cooked apple mixture evenly over the blind-baked pie crust. Carefully pour the custard over the apples, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.

5. 5. In a small bowl, combine the sliced almonds, sugar, softened butter, and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle this delightful topping over the custard-filled pie.

6. 6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the almond topping is a gorgeous golden brown. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the pie loosely with foil.

7. 7. Allow the French Apple-Custard Pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled, perhaps with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
