How to Make Oh La La French Apple Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make the custard: In a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until smooth.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
  4. Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a bowl, toss the apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Prepare the pie crust: Roll out one disc of pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  6. Spread a thin layer of apricot preserves over the bottom crust.
  7. Arrange the apple slices over the apricot preserves.
  8. Pour the vanilla custard evenly over the apples.
  9. Roll out the second pie crust disc. Cut into 1-inch strips.
  10. Weave the strips over the pie to create a lattice top, twisting the strips as you go for a 3D effect.
  11. Trim and crimp the edges of the top crust, tucking the ends under the bottom crust.
  12. Brush the top crust with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
  13. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  14. Let the pie cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
