Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 large Apples (Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar for the pie crust.
Add the cold and cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a separate large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Roll out one of the chilled dough discs on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer it to the dish, letting the edges hang over slightly.
Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the apples. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
While the pie is cooling slightly, warm the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the caramel sauce until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the cooled pie before serving.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
