Ingredients
2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
6 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim excess and chill.
2. In a bowl, toss sliced apples with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
3. Fill the chilled crust with apple mixture. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apples.
4. Roll out second crust and cut into strips to create a lattice top. Crimp edges and brush with egg wash.
5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake an additional 35–40 minutes.
6. Let pie cool at least 2 hours. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over before serving.
Notes
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor.
Let the filling rest so juices release and reduce sogginess.
For an extra rustic feel, sprinkle coarse sugar over the crust before baking.
