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.
  • Cut 4 slits in the top of the pie for ventilation, then brush with the beaten egg.
  • Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and no grey-ish or undercooked pastry remains. Let cool completely.

  • 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.

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¾ cup shortening, chilled and cubed
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Fine Sea Salt
6 tablespoons ice-cold water, or more as needed
⅔ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice

½ teaspoon lemon extract
2 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces
1 (11 ounce) package caramels, unwrapped
1 tablespoon water, or more as needed
Vanilla ice cream
Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt

Steps:

  • Blend flour and 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Fine Sea Salt in mixing bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture using a pastry blender until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Sprinkle ice water over the top, 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix gently with a fork after each addition until dough holds together. Divide the dough into 2 pieces; one a little larger than the other. Flatten into round disks, wrap in plastic film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Put apple slices in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon extract. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, Diamond Crystal® Fine Sea Salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples and mix to distribute evenly.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Lightly flour flat rolling surface. Roll out the larger disk until it is 2 inches bigger than the pie plate. Carefully place crust into bottom of pie plate, and press evenly into bottom and sides. Pierce the botton with a fork several times. Fill bottom crust with filling and dot with butter pats.
  • Roll out top crust and carefully place over top. Fold bottom crust edge over top and flute. Cut 2 to 4 slits in top. Cover edges of crust with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 50 minutes. Remove foil for the last 15 minutes. Cool on rack. Serve warm, if desired.
  • Make topping just before serving. Place caramels in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water. Heat for 1 minute at a time on high stirring after each time until caramels are creamy, but no more than 3 minutes. Add additional water, if needed, to get desired consistency.
  • Top slices of pie with your favorite vanilla ice cream. Drizzle caramel sauce over ice cream and pie. Then sprinkle a pinch of Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt over the caramel sauce.

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.

  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can make the salted caramel sauce by hand. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the salt. Pour the sauce into a jar or container and refrigerate until it is completely cool.
  • When making the apple pie filling, be sure to use a variety of apples. This will give the pie a more complex flavor.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
