Print French Apple Pie

French Apple Pie

This recipe is SO GOOD!  The Granny Smith apples really give a tart freshness that calls out, "This is the way apple pie should always taste!"

There's pie crust on the bottom and a crumble on the top, with hot apple goodness in between.  Below you will see I made mini pies.  They're perfect for those folks that love eating crispy pie crust with every bite.

HERE'S FRENCH APPLE PIE

  • 1 prepared pie crust for 9" pie
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • dash of salt
  • 6 cups chopped pared apples

Crumb Topping

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup firm butter

Heat oven to 425F degrees.  Prep pastry.  Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt in large bowl.  Stir in apples. 

Place crumb topping ingredients in food processor and pulse until crumbly.   

Turn apple mixture into pastry lined pie plate.  Top apple filling with Crumb Topping.  Cover topping with aluminum foil during last 10 minutes of baking.  Bake 40-50 minutes.  When I baked the mini-pies, I baked for 25 minutes.

    Oh Pam, if I can do it, you can too!

    The only part of this recipe that takes any time is peeling and coring the apples. The rest is too easy & quick not to make it.

    The pie makes folks think you baked all day and it TASTES like you’ve made it for years.
