Ingredients

Scale

2 pie crusts (9-inch diameter)

6–7 medium apples, peeled and sliced

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch (gluten-free option)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: pinch of lemon juice or apple cider to brighten the apples

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using a store-bought crust, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften just enough to roll, then fit one crust into a 9-inch pie pan.

In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice (if using), granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour or cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla. Stir until every piece is glossy and coated; the mixture should look juicy but not soupy.

Pile the apple mixture into the crust-lined pan. Drizzle 2–3 tablespoons of caramel sauce over the apples, then dot with small butter pieces. If you like extra caramel, reserve a little to drizzle after baking.

Brush the rim with a little water or milk. Lay the second crust on top, seal the edges with a fork or by pinching, and cut a few vents or weave a simple lattice. If the edges brown too quickly, tent with foil.

Bake 45–55 minutes, until the crust is golden and juices are bubbling around the edges. If the center looks a bit underdone, cover the edges and bake a few more minutes until set.

Cool at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling can set. Serve warm or at room temperature, with an extra drizzle of caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like.

Notes
