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.

  • If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions before filling it.
  • To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the egg wash onto the pie crust.
  • To prevent the pie from boiling over, place a baking sheet underneath the pie plate in the oven.
