Take a look at this mouthwatering creation that will surely impress your family and friends!

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 6 cups of Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, diced
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Extra caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until the apples are well coated.
3. Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, and fill it with the apple mixture, making sure to mound it slightly in the center.
4. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple filling, and dot the top with the diced butter for extra richness.
5. Cover the pie with another layer of pie crust or create a lattice top with strips of dough to allow steam to escape. Cut slits in the top crust if using a full crust.
6. Brush the surface with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
8. Let the pie cool for at least an hour before serving. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce for an extra treat!
