How to Make Apple Pie French Style

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
  4. Prepare the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
  6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
