Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325.
For the filling, melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add apples and 2 Tbsp sugar; sauté until apples are soft but not mushy, 8-10 minutes. Stir in rum and 1/8 tsp salt. Spread apples over the bottom of the blind baked crust.
Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, cream, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and remaining 1/8 tsp salt. Pour over apples in pie crust. Bake pie until custard is barely set in center, about 30 minutes.
For almond topping, combine almonds, 1/3 cups sugar and 2 Tbsp softened butter in a bowl. Remove pie from oven; sprinkle with topping. Cover pie with a pie shield if the edge of crust seems to be over browning.
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 to room temperature when ready to serve.
