Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pre-made pie crust
- 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
Pour the sugar mixture over the sliced apples and toss until the apple slices are evenly coated.
Unroll one of the pre-made pie crusts and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie dish.
Spoon the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple filling.
Cut the butter into small cubes and scatter them over the caramel-covered apples.
Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. If desired, lattice the top crust for a decorative look.
Trim and crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal. Use a knife to cut 4-5 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it lightly over the top crust.
If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top for added sweetness and crunch.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the filling set.
Slice and serve with additional caramel sauce drizzled on top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
