This was a great recipe and the icing was great. I used a blend of raisins and golden raisins but that is the only thing that I 'tweaked'. Thank you!! -

Thank you for adding this recipe. My mother would buy these french apple pies from a "hole in the wall" bakery in St. Petersburg Florida back during the 60's. The pies were wonderful! The baker was able to keep his upper-crust flat and beautiful with the icing. I hope to learn how to do that too. Thank you again for posting this recipe! Lori -
My Dad's Birthday is today and he's been talking about the French Apple pie with raisins and icing his Mom used to get when he was a kid 50+ years ago in New York, he hasn't had it in decades. I'm surprising him with it later today! I couldn't find a better recipe then yours, thank you so much!

Perfect! This was just what I was looking for... friends parents were visiting, and her dad always ordered French Apple Pie if it was on the menu, so I told her I'd make one. I substituted Craisins for the raisins, and her Dad said it was the best one he's ever had. -
