One bite, and Grandma was right. If you want to learn how to make homemade apple pie filling, this is really the only recipe you need. -Maggie Greene, Granite Falls, Washington

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.

With a slotted spoon, transfer apple slices to a 15x10-in. baking pan; spread into a single layer. Add cider to remaining liquid in Dutch oven and bring to a boil; cook until juices reduce to 1/2 cup, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat; add lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Apples: Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn for a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Avoid soft or mealy varieties like Red Delicious or Gala.
  • Use Freshly Ground Spices: Freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice provide a more intense and aromatic flavor compared to pre-ground spices.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough can result in a tough crust. Mix the ingredients until they just come together and avoid over-kneading.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps prevent the crust from shrinking and becoming tough.
  • Blind Bake the Crust: Pre-baking the pie crust before filling it helps prevent a soggy bottom.
  • Use a Pie Shield: To prevent the edges of the pie crust from burning, use a pie shield or foil ring.
  • Brush the Crust with Milk: Brushing the crust with milk before baking creates a golden brown color and adds a touch of sweetness.
  • Let the Pie Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps the filling to set and prevents it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and the right techniques, you can create an unforgettable apple pie that will delight your taste buds and impress your loved ones. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, handle the dough gently, and bake the pie to perfection. Whether you prefer a classic apple pie or a unique variation, the recipes in this article provide a solid foundation for your culinary exploration.
