A classic apple pie with a sweet caramel twist, perfect for fall and holiday desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 cups peeled, sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup thick caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Make the apple filling by tossing sliced apples with lemon juice, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, salt, and vanilla.
  2. Line a 9-inch pie pan with the bottom crust. Pour in the apple filling and drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
  3. Cut the second crust into strips and create a lattice over the filling. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50–60 minutes, covering the edges if they brown too fast.
  5. Let it cool slightly, then slice and drizzle with extra caramel sauce. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before slicing to set the filling.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
