2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
– In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside for flavor marinades.

3. Make the Custard:

– Layer the apple mixture evenly in the pie crust.
– Pour the custard mixture over the apples, filling the crust.

5. Prepare the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

– Sprinkle the streusel over the custard-filled pie.

6. Bake:
