French Apple Pie With Streusel Topping Food

CLASSIC APPLE CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl. Rub the butter pieces into the flour using your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Drizzle in the vinegar and ice water; stir gently with a fork to combine. If the dough doesn't hold together when you squeeze it, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then tuck the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the crumb topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the mixture with your fingers until no longer floury and crumbs form. Freeze until ready to use.
• Make the filling: Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 400˚. Mix the apples, melted butter, both sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Spoon the filling into the chilled pie crust. Pat the crumb mixture on top.
• Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ and bake until the apples are completely soft when pierced with a paring knife, 60 to 80 more minutes. (If the topping is getting too dark, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.

FRENCH APPLE-CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• FOR THE APPLES & FILLING:.
• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Melt the 2 tablespoons butter for the apple filling in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
• Add apples and 2 tablespoons sugar; sauté until apples are soft but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat & stir in rum and 1/8 teaspoons salt.
• Spread apples over the bottom of the prebaked pie crust.
• Thoroughly whisk together this mixture before pouring it over the apples in the crust: eggs, egg yolks, cream, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and remaining 1/8 teaspoons salt; pour over apples in pie crust.
• Bake pie until custard is barely set in center, about 30 minutes.
• FOR THE ALMOND TOPPING:.
• Combine almonds, 1/3 cup sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter for the almond topping in a bowl.
• Remove pie from the oven; sprinkle pie with topping.
• Cover pie with a pie shield if the edge of the crust seems to be overbrowning.
• Return pie to oven; bake until custard is almost set but still slightly jiggly in the center, 15-20 minutes more.
• Completely cool pie before slicing, or chill pie, then bring it to room temperature when ready to serve.
• *Use a pie shield to prevent pie crust from burning. You can buy a premade shield or make your own. Fold a 9" piece of 36" wide foil into thirds so it measures 3x36". Wrap it around the edge of the pie, crimping the shield where the ends of the foil meet.
