Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Print Recipe

Delicious chunks of apple with lemon zest and salted caramel. Original recipe from www.sallysbakingaddiction.com

Ingredients

Scale
  • Two pie crusts (lattice is optional but you will want two)
  • homemade salted caramel sauce (I made mine but you can use purchased caramel- I won’t tell)
  • 10–12 Cups Peeled and Sliced Apples -I used four Granny Smith and three Macoun. I kept my apple slices relatively 1/2 in slice- not super thin and not super chunky. Every apple pie lover likes their apples a certain way- you do you!
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Fresh Lemon Zest. (I used at least 2 tablespoons. I zested the whole lemon)
  • 1/4 Cup fresh Lemon Juice (I used the juice from the lemon I zested)
  • 1/4 Cup flour
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg (I used my microplane and ran the nutmeg over it a few times)
  • 1 and 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Egg Wash:

  • 1 Egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon Water or Milk
  • Decorating Sugar for sprinkling on top pie crust after egg wash

Instructions

  1. Place apple slices in a bowl with lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and spices. Toss to combine.
  2. Roll out pie crust and place dough in pie dish.
  3. Fill pie dish with apple mixture. This will be a fairly large mountain of apples, but that’s what we are going for. Drizzle 1/2 Cup of Salted Caramel mixture over apples. (So pretty).
  4. Cover apples with remaining pie crust.
  5. For Lattice- measure and cut out strips of pie crust dough with a pastry cutter or knife (I use an old tortellini cutter – it has a rippled edge that I like and it is about a million years old).
  6. I start my lattice by securing one side of strips to the pie, then weaving the second side over and under the established strips. Then trip excess crust dough and pinch edges for a pretty finish.
  7. Brush with egg wash, then sprinkle decorative sugar.
  8. Bake in a 400* oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes. When baking pie, don’t wander to far, you want to watch your crusts to make sure they don’t get too brown. You can tent your edges with foil if crust is getting browner than you would prefer.
  9. Allow Pie to cool. Drizzle additional Salted Caramel over each slice when serving.
