CARAMEL TOPPED APPLE PIE

I saw this demonstrated in a YouTube video, prepared by Chef John of foodwishes.com. It sounded so good, so I jotted down the ingredients and instructions. I made it immediately, and it was fabulous. It's about the only apple pie I make any longer, and I thought others would like to make it, too. Use whatever apples you like (Chef John prepared his pie using Gala apples, but I prefer Granny Smith apples). I also peel my apples, but chef John sliced his apples with the peels intact.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 apple pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pastry for double-crust pie
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
6 baking apples, cored and sliced (I prefer Granny Smith apples, Chef John uses Gala apples)

Steps:

  • Press bottom crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Place pie pan on foil-lined baking sheet (to catch spills during baking); set aside.
  • In a saucepan, bring butter, flour, water, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn off heat; set pan aside.
  • Place top crust on cutting board. Using a pizza cutter, cut crust into 8 strips.
  • Place apples in the bottom crust, slightly mounded in the center. Cover apples with the cut dough strips, with four strips across and four strips vertical, weaving them in a lattice pattern if you wish.
  • Fold edges of bottom crust over the lattice edges to seal, then crimp (or pinch) edges of crust, making a scalloped edge on pie crust.
  • Spoon caramel sauce evenly over top crust, being sure to completely cover the top crust with caramel sauce.
  • Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, to start caramelization. Reduce heat to 350F and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until apples are soft.
  • Let cool completely before slicing.

1 pastry for double-crust pie
1/2 c butter
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 c water
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
6 large baking apples, cored and sliced (gala or granny smith)

Steps:

  • 1. Press bottom crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Place pie pan on foil-lined baking sheet (to catch spills during baking); set aside. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • 2. In a saucepan, bring butter, flour, water, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn off heat; set pan aside.
  • 3. Place top crust on cutting board. Using a pizza cutter, cut crust into 8 strips.

  • 5. Fold edges of bottom crust over the lattice edges to seal, then crimp (or pinch) edges of crust, making a scalloped edge on pie crust.
  • 6. Spoon caramel sauce evenly over top crust, being sure to completely cover the top crust with caramel sauce.

  • 8. Let cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • For a perfectly golden crust, brush the top of the pie with milk or an egg wash before baking.
  • To prevent the pie from bubbling over, use a pie plate with a high rim.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Caramel Topped Apple Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet apples, and gooey caramel topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
