How to Make Caramel Apple Pie
Prepare the pie dough in the pan and let it chill in the fridge. Create the filling by tossing together the apple slices, sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Make the crumb topping by first whisking the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together. Cut the pieces of butter into the flour mixture until the crumb consistency is achieved. Fill the pie crust with apples, drizzle with caramel sauce, then top with the crumbs. Bake, then let cool before serving.
Ingredient Notes
Pie Crust: Forms the base of the pie; use store-bought or homemade. Apples: Form the base of the filling; use crisp apples that won’t go mushy, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, or a mix. Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness, while brown sugar adds a warmer, deeper flavor. Flour: Thickens the filling and forms the base of the crumb topping. Lemon Juice: Helps prevent the apples from browning, and adds a bit of acid to balance the sweetness. Spices: Adds that traditional, warming flavor. Salt: Enhances the flavors in the filling and crumb topping. Caramel Sauce: Adds a deep, caramel flavor; use store-bought or homemade. Butter: Holds the crumble together.
