Caramel Apple Pie

This Caramel Apple Pie is not your average dessert; it combines the sweetness of caramel with the tartness of fresh apples, creating a delightful balance that everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples (granny smith and honey crisp are great options)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

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 evenly coated.
3. Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, making sure to spread it out evenly.
4. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apples, then dot the filling with butter pieces.
5. For the top crust, you can use either a full crust or create a lattice top. Place it over the filling, seal the edges, and cut slits for ventilation if using a full crust.
6. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
8. Once done, let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce before slicing and serving.

Enjoy every slice of this delightful Caramel Apple Pie—it’s perfect on its own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side!
