Caramel Apple Pie
Servings: 12
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 package refrigerated rolled pie crust 2 rolls
5 tart apples (I like Granny Smith)
3 sweet apples (such as Pink Lady, Macintosh, Courtland, Envy or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 pats butter
1 8-oz. jar caramel sauce (optional)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Course sugar for garnish, optional
Instructions:
Peel, core and slice apples. Remove pie crust from refrigerator and let set on counter for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
In a large bowl, mix apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg until apples are well coated. (If you are omitting the caramel sauce, be sure to add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar here.)
Unroll first pie crust and set on 9 1/2" pie plate. Unroll second pie crust on cutting board and cut out design, lattice strips or pattern, if desired.
Place 1/2 of apples in pie crust. Top with 3 pats butter. Cover with remaining apples.
Heat caramel in microwave to bring it to pouring consistency. Carefully pour over top of apples.
Carefully place 2nd crust over top of apples and crimp edges with edge of bottom crust to seal.
Whisk together egg and heavy cream. Carefully brush top of pie with egg mixture.
Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake at 375ºF for 60-75 minutes, until crust is brown and juices are bubbly. If crust begins to brown too quickly, cover with foil. Let cool before serving.
