Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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.
  • Generously drizzle about half of the caramel sauce over the apples and then top with the lattice crust. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with course sugar.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to prevent over spilling on the bottom of your oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is nice and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on a rack for 20-30 minutes before drizzling more caramel sauce over the top.
