Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine flour, 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup white sugar, egg, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until crumbled and easily formed into dough when pinched. Pour 3/4 of the dough into the prepared pan; press down with your hands until crust is even and well packed.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; cook and stir until apples are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch; mix, adding more cornstarch if needed, until liquids are thickened.
Pour apple mixture onto crust; smooth with a spatula until even. Crumble remaining dough on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until crumbles on top are lightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; cut into bars.

Tips:

For the perfect crust: Use a combination of butter and shortening to create a flaky, tender crust. Use ice-cold water to keep the dough from becoming tough. And be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
To prevent a soggy bottom: Brush the bottom of the pie crust with a beaten egg white before filling it. This will create a barrier between the crust and the filling, preventing the crust from becoming soggy.
For a golden crust: Brush the top of the pie crust with milk or cream before baking. This will help the crust to brown and give it a beautiful golden color.
To make sure your pie is cooked through: Insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done. If it comes out with wet filling, bake the pie for a few more minutes.
Let your pie cool before slicing it. This will allow the filling to set and prevent it from running out of the pie.

Conclusion:

This apple caramel pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this apple caramel pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
