Double crusted honey crisp apple pie sweetened with cinnamon brown sugar and salted caramel. This salted caramel apple pie is delicious and so perfect for fall.
Ingredients
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
4-5 medium honey crisp apples
2-3 9-inch pie crust
⅓ cup salted caramel
Eggwash
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
Topping
Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Salted caramel for drizzling
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Place a pie crust dough into a 9 inch pie dish and crimp or flute the edges to your liking. Refrigerate the pie crust in the dish while preparing the apple filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger until combined. Add apples sliced into ⅓ - ½ inch thick into the bowl. Mix until all the apples are coated with the flour mixture.
Pour the apple filling into the pie dish and arrange the apples in an even layer so that they will bake evenly. Drizzle salted caramel all over the top of the filling and let the salted caramel fall into the crevices. Refrigerate while preparing the pie lattice.
To create the pie lattice, cut the pie crust into one inch strips. Weave the strips over and under to create the lattice pattern.
Mix together the beaten egg and a tablespoon of milk. Brush the eggwash over the lattice crust. This will help give the crust that golden brown look. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the crust.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet so that if the pie filling bubbles over, it’ll fall onto the baking sheet instead of in the oven. Bake the pie at 400F for about 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350F, and bake for an additional 45-50 minutes. If the pie crust starts to brown too quickly, cover with foil. The salted caramel will bubble and caramelized, the apples will have softened.
Let the pie sit and cool for about 3 hours so that the filling will thicken before slicing into it. If you slice the pie before it completely cools, the pie will fall apart.
Serve the salted caramel apple pie warm or cold. Drizzle warm salted caramel all over the slice before serving
