• To prevent the apples from browning, drizzle them with lemon juice after slicing. This will preserve their natural color.
  
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the apple filling to enhance the flavors and give a warm note to the pie.
  
• Prepare a light shortcrust pastry by using wholemeal flour or replacing some of the flour with almond flour. This will add an interesting texture to the pie.
  
• For a crispier shortcrust pastry, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will allow the butter to slightly harden and ensure a better texture.
  
• Before arranging the apple slices on the pastry, sprinkle a thin layer of cookie crumbs or almond powder on the bottom of the pie. This will absorb excess juice from the apples and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
  
• For a more indulgent apple pie, add raisins or chocolate chips between the layers of apples. This will bring a touch of surprise and texture.
  
• Lightly brush the apples with a sugar syrup or jam after arranging them on the pastry. This will give them a beautiful shiny appearance once baked.
  
• Serve the apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and freshness to the tasting.
  
• You can top it with almonds, crumble, powdered speculoos, pecans, pink pralines,...
  
• Add a little brown sugar to make it even more indulgent.
