Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Premade pie crust
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are well-coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading evenly.
Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apples.
In a medium bowl, combine the cold, cubed butter, rolled oats, and chopped pecans (if using). Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the butter-oats mixture evenly over the apple filling.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield halfway through baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
