Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and water. Bring the syrup to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar, then remove from heat.
- Unroll pie crusts, press one into a 9-inch pie dish, and place the apples into the crust. Unroll the second crust on a work surface, and cut into about 8 1-inch wide strips. Criss-cross the strips over the apples, or weave into a lattice crust. Crimp the bottom crust over the lattice strips with your fingers. Spoon caramel sauce over pie, covering lattice portion of top crust; let remaining sauce drizzle through the crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE
To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the apples from browning and will make it easier to slice them evenly.
- Don't overcook the apples. They should be soft but still retain their shape.
- Use a good quality caramel sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie.
- Don't overfill your pie crust. This will make it difficult to seal the pie and will also result in a soggy crust.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for the remaining baking time. This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
Conclusion:
Caramel apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make a caramel apple pie that will impress your friends and family.
