Ingredients

  • 1 all-butter pie crust

  • salt

  • 1/2 tsp. water

  • 1 egg

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • 1 tsp. sea salt

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 cup sugar

Apple Pie Filling

  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup flour

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp. butter

  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

  • 3 1/2 pounds apple, peeled and sliced thinly

Method

  • 01
    Prepare a double pie crust. In a large bowl, toss the peeled and thinly sliced apples in the lemon juice. Sprinkle with the flour and toss to coat.
  • 02
    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring often for about 2-3 minutes.
  • 03
    Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened very slightly and the sauce has thickened, about 10 - 12 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • 04
    In a medium-sized pot, whisk together sugar and water and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Add butter and let cook for 9-11 minutes or until a golden brown color begins to form. Do not stir but watch carefully.
  • 05
    Once the caramel is a warm copper color, remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Be careful as it will bubble. Stir in salt. Pour into jar and place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
  • 06
    Layer apple pie filling into prepared pie crust, leaving behind some of the juices. Pour 1 cup of chilled caramel sauce over apples. Place top layer or pie dough over apples in a lattice pattern.
  • 07
    Make an egg wash by whisking together egg, water, and salt. Brush over pie crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Chill for 20 minutes.
  • 08
    Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 25 minutes. Place pie shield or foil over pie crust edges. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes. Using a knife, check to see if apples are soft and cooked through.
  • 09
    Allow pie to cool for 3-4 hours. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and extra caramel sauce.
