Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 large granny smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 premade pie crusts, thawed if frozen
1 large egg, beaten
¾ cup heavy cream
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, lemon juice, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are well coated.
  • Lay 1 of the pie crusts in a 9-inch (23-cm) pie dish. Add the apple slices to the bottom of the crust. Place the other pie crust over the apple slices.
  • Trim any extra dough from the edges. Press the rounded edge of spoon facedown around the edge, making shallow indentations to crimp the crusts together.

  • Whisk in the butter and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the caramel reaches a thick consistency.
  • Let the caramel sauce cool for 5 minutes, then pour over the pie. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

SALTED CARAMEL APPLE PIE



Salted Caramel Apple Pie image

Classic lattice-topped apple pie bubbling with salted caramel and gooey, cinnamon apples.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Pie

Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Homemade Pie Crust or All Butter Pie Crust (both recipes make 2 crusts, 1 for bottom and 1 for top)
homemade salted caramel
6-7 large apples, cored, peeled, and sliced into 1/4 inch slices (11-12 cups total)*
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk
optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust

Steps:

  • Prepare pie crust recipe through step 5.
  • salted caramel. You can do this as you wait for the pie dough to chill.
  • Next, make the apple filling as the dough is still chilling: Place apple slices into a very large bowl. Add sugar, lemon juice, flour, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Gently toss to combine. Set aside.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. With a small and sharp knife, trim the extra overhang of crust and discard.
  • Fill the pie crust with the apples. There are a lot of apples, but pile them tightly and very high. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the salted caramel, reserving the rest for topping.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough out, 12 inches diameter. Using a pastry wheel, sharp knife, or pizza cutter, cut 16 strips 1/2 inch wide. We always use a clean measuring tape or ruler as a guide to assure the lines are straight. Carefully thread the strips over and under one another, pulling back strips as necessary to weave. Using a small and sharp knife, trim the extra overhang. Crimp the edges of the dough with a fork or your fingers.
  • Lightly brush the lattice top with the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes. If the top of your pie is getting too brown, cover loosely with aluminum foil. The pie will be done when the caramel begins to bubble up. A small knife inserted inside should come out relatively clean.
  • Cool pie for 4 hours before serving. Drizzle the pie with the extra caramel sauce to serve. This apple pie is best served on the same day, but it can be covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Provided by John Somerall

Time 5h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ cups cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
½ cup ice cold water, divided
1 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
½ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
10 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the pie crust: Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add butter and toss until butter pieces are completely separated and coated with flour mixture. Using your hands, work butter into flour mixture until well combined and butter pieces are no larger than a pea. Add 1/4 cup cold water and gently stir with a spatula until completely absorbed. Add remaining 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, gently stirring between each addition, until dough begins to form into a ball. Depending on how humid it is in your kitchen or how hydrated your flour is, you might not need to use all of the water.
  • Transfer dough to a clean work surface and gently knead, being careful not to overwork it, until smooth and slightly tacky. Divide dough evenly into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a flat disk and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Chill dough in a refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. If chilled longer than 1 hour, let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes before rolling.
  • While the dough is chilling, prepare the caramel sauce. Heat sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely melted and amber in color, 10 to 15 minutes. Add butter to melted sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and completely combined, about 1 minute.
  • Carefully add heavy cream to sugar mixture, stirring constantly, until bubbly, 15 to 30 seconds. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in sea salt. Set caramel sauce aside to cool slightly at room temperature until ready to use.
  • Prepare the filling: stir apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until well combined. Set apple mixture aside at room temperature, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  • Pour apple mixture through a strainer into a large bowl. Set apple mixture aside, and transfer the liquid to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Position oven rack in bottom third of oven.
  • Working with one dough disk at a time on a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll each disk into a 1/8-inch thick circle that measures 12 inches in diameter. Place one dough circle in a 9-inch pie pan and gently press dough into the corners and sides of the pan.
  • Stir together apples and reduced apple liquid in large bowl; arrange apple mixture in the pie crust, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce. Place remaining dough circle over apple mixture and press into apple mixture and into edges of pan. Using your fingers, fold edges under and crimp to seal. Brush top and edges of dough with egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut eight 1-inch slits in dough with a sharp paring knife to allow steam to escape. Place pie on a rimmed sheet pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is light golden in color, about 20 minutes. Without removing the pie, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and continue baking until dough is deep golden brown and the filling is starting to bubble, about 25 minutes. Gently cover pie with aluminum foil, and continue baking until a knife inserted removes mostly clean, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove pie from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours. Serve pie with remaining caramel sauce, if desired.

Time 6h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 ¾ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 pinch kosher salt
3 sticks unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 in (1.24 cm) and frozen for 15 minutes
¾ cup water, ice water, plus more as needed
1 large egg, with 1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 lb Granny Smith applesGranny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch (6 mm) wedges
3 lb honeycrisp apple, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch (6 mm) wedges
1 lemon
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla bean paste
¼ cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1 cup apple cider
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
⅓ cup water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
¾ cup heavy cream, room temperature
½ teaspoon kosher salt
pecan, candied chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat each cube with the flour, then smash each piece of butter with your fingers.
  • Add the ice water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, and continue to toss until the dough holds together when pressed between your hands. You may not need all of the water, but if the dough is too dry, add more, 1 teaspoon at a time, as needed. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
  • Turn the dough onto a clean surface. Work into 2 discs and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla bean paste. Stir to coat the apples well and cook until they start to soften and release their juices and the sugar dissolves, 5-7 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Pour the slurry over the apples, increase the heat to high, and cook until the juices are boiling and thickened, 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Make the apple cider syrup: Add the apple cider to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons with the consistency of maple syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
  • Assemble the pie: On a floured surface, roll a disc of pie dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Transfer to a 9-inch (22 cm) deep dish pie plate.
  • Add the apple filling to the crust, along with any accumulated juices from the bottom of the bowl. Drizzle the apple cider syrup on top. Refrigerate while you roll out the other dough.
  • Roll out the remaining dough disc to a 12-inch (30 cm) round. Drape over the pie, then pinch the edges together. Trim any excess dough around the edges, then roll the edges under all the way around the pie. Use the knuckle of an index finger on one hand and your index finger and thumb on the other hand to make large crimps around the edges.
  • Brush the dough all over with the egg wash. Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Transfer the assembled pie to the freezer for 20 minutes, until firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place the pie dish on the prepared baking sheet, then transfer to the oven and bake for 80-90 minutes, covering with foil halfway through. Cook until the juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the salted caramel: Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a low boil and cook until the sugar dissolves and mixture starts to turn a light copper color, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream and salt until incorporated. If the caramel seems too thin, return to medium low heat and boil until thickened to your desired consistency, 1-2 minutes. Transfer the caramel to a heat-proof liquid measuring cup and let cool to room temperature, 30-60 minutes.
  • Pour the cooled caramel sauce over the pie and garnish with candied pecans.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a perfectly flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help the crust stay crispy.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Don't overwork the dough. The more you work it, the tougher the crust will be.
  • When baking the pie, start it in a hot oven (425°F) for 15 minutes. This will help the crust set. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This plant-based salted caramel apple pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, creamy caramel, and flaky crust is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this pie a try.
