Ingredients

  • 1 Unbaked Pie Dough 9-inch double-crust pie
  • ½ Cup Butter no subs
  • 3 Tbs Flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 ½ Cups Sliced Granny Smith or Gala Apples about 4 or 5 apples

Instructions

  • Prepare your crusts.
  • Line the bottom of a 9-inch glass pie plate with the bottom crust.
  • Have the top crust rolled out and ready to cover the pie.
  • Set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk in the flour to form a paste.
  • Add white sugar, brown sugar, and water all at once.
  • Whisk until smooth, and bring to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and set aside for a moment.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly and uniformly.
  • Dump into the prepared pie plate.
  • Pour the hot caramel sauce over the apple slices.  (If you want to drizzle caramel sauce over individual slices, reserve ⅓ cup of the caramel)
  • Cover the pie with the top crust and make slits for steam to escape.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Reduce the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for another 40 minutes.
  • Cool the pie on a cooling rack for 30-40 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Apples- Granny Smith apples hold up the best.  They don't become mush when baking, and their tart flavor is toned down while still retaining their flavor. 
  • Pie Crust - You will need a double unbaked pie crust for this recipe. You can use your favorite crust recipe, purchase a crust, or use my recipe for a homemade crust.
  • Salted Caramel Variation - For a salted caramel apple pie, sprinkle the apple pie filling with sea salt before covering it with the top crust.
