Description
Sliced apples tossed with caramel and a pinch of salt, baked in a prepared crust until the filling bubbles and the top turns deep golden brown.
Ingredients
Units
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 2 store-bought or homemade pie crusts (top and bottom)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare your pie crust and set aside.
- Slice apples and mix with caramel and a pinch of salt.
- Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
- Use a caramel with real depth — a pale, overly sweet caramel gets lost once it bakes down with the apples.
- Slice the apples thin and even so they all cook through at the same rate.
- Let the pie cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing so the filling sets; closer to an hour gives you the cleanest pieces.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche — the cold, plain contrast plays well against the salt.
