Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 homemade pie crust (or pre-made pie crust (one for the bottom crust and one for the lattice top))
8 large granny smith apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¾ cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
dash of salt
1 Egg yolk plus 2 tbsp water for egg wash
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare the caramel sauce and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Press the bottom crust into a 9 inch pie pan and trim the excess with a sharp knife. Set in the fridge until the filling is ready.
  • In a small bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a medium bowl toss the sliced apples together with the spiced sugar mixture and the lemon juice. Pour into the chilled pie shell.
  • Generously drizzle about half of the caramel sauce over the apples and then top with the lattice crust. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with course sugar.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to prevent over spilling on the bottom of your oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is nice and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on a rack for 20-30 minutes before drizzling more caramel sauce over the top.

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup vegetable shortening or lard
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 to 7 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 jar (or more) caramel topping

Steps:

  • For the perfect spiced pie crust: Mix the flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the butter and vegetable shortening. Work the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. Add the white vinegar, egg and 5 tablespoons cold water and stir until just combined.
  • Form 2 equal-sized balls. Place each in a large plastic bag (do not seal) and slightly flatten with a rolling pin; this makes it much easier to roll out the crust later. After flattening, seal the bag tightly. Place in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove 1 bag of dough from the freezer (save the other dough for another use), remove the dough from the bag and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough starting at the center and working outward. Be gentle and patient; it'll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out. If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below while rolling, use a metal spatula to loosen it. When fully rolled out, loosen again with a spatula and lift the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan (or you can roll the pastry over the rolling pin, lift it onto the pie pan and unroll it). Gently press the dough against the corner of the pan and tear off any excess dough. Then tuck under the edges and go around the pie pan pinching the dough to crimp the edge.
  • For the pie filling: In a bowl, mix the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour and salt. Set aside.
  • For the crumb topping: Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, then add in the brown sugar, oats and salt.
  • Add the apples to the prepared pie shell and top with the crumb topping. Bake for 1 hour, covering the edge of the crust with foil if it starts to brown too quickly. After an hour, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the pie, then bake for a further 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and pour 1/2 jar (or more, if you're feeling dangerous and naughty) of caramel topping over the top. Allow to cool slightly before serving - or don't if you can't wait!

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE



Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie image

To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
5 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 pastry for double-crust pie (see footnote for recipe link)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices.
  • Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Weave the pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
  • Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 apple sticks

Number Of Ingredients 12

Canola oil, for frying
14 ounces caramel candies, unwrapped
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup seltzer water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup to dredge apples
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored, cut into thirds
12 wooden pop sticks
Cinnamon sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium-sized, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add the caramels, butterscotch chips, milk and vanilla. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until well incorporated, melted, and smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, seltzer, 1 1/2 cups of flour, and cream of tartar. Skewer the apples onto wooden sticks. Dredge the apples, first in 1/2 cup flour, and then into the batter. Fry the apples, in batches, in the deep-fryer until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Pour the caramel sauce into a small bowl. Dust the apples with cinnamon sugar and serve with the caramel sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup slivered almonds
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup butter, cubed
1 (9 inch) single pie crust
6 apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup caramel sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Roll out the pie dough into a circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the pastry and crimp the edge. Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning. Combine the 1 tablespoon flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon; toss with the apples to coat. Drizzle 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over the bottom of the pie shell.

Tips:

  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Otherwise, the filling will bubble over and make a mess.

  • Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is the perfect way to enjoy this classic dessert.
