Delicious Salted Caramel Apple Pie
This pie features a buttery crust filled with spiced apples and drizzled with homemade salted caramel. The preparation time is about 30 minutes, and it takes an additional 45 minutes to bake, serving approximately 8 slices.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Additional salted caramel for drizzling on top
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, flour, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, and drizzle with the salted caramel sauce. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Cover the Pie: Place a second pie crust over the filling, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with additional salted caramel before serving.
