Salted Caramel Apple Pie



Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Classic lattice-topped all American apple pie bubbling with salted caramel and gooey, cinnamon apples. My absolute favorite dessert!

Ingredients

  • homemade pie crust (my recipe makes 2 crusts; 1 for bottom and 1 for lattice top)
  • homemade salted caramel sauce
  • 6 large apples, cored, peeled, and thinly sliced (approx 10-12 cups total – use a variety for better flavor, such as Pink Lady, Granny Smith, or Honey Crisp)*
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk
  • optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
Instructions

  1. Read all of the directions that I wrote in this post before beginning the following recipe. It will help you!
  2. The crust: Prepare my pie crust recipe through step 5.
  3. Make the caramel using my step-by-step photos as a visual guide. You can do this as you wait for the pie dough to chill.
  4. Next, make the apple filling as the dough is still chilling: Place apple slices into a very large bowl. Add sugar, lemon juice, flour, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Gently toss to combine. Set aside.
  5. Roll out the chilled pie dough: On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. With a small and sharp knife, trim the extra overhang of crust and discard.
  6. Fill the pie crust with the apples. There are a lot of apples, but pile them tightly and very high. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the salted caramel, reserving the rest for topping.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
