Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Ingredients:

• 1/2 scant cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 1/2 pounds honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 recipe for a double crust pie (homemade or storebought)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling
• 1/2 cup homemade caramel sauce or store-bought
• 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, kosher salt, and cinnamon. Add the apple slices and toss until well coated.
3. Roll out half of the prepared pie dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, making sure to press it neatly into the corners and up the sides of the dish.
4. Spoon the apple mixture into the crust, packing it in tightly and piling it high in the center. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
5. Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Cut the dough into strips and lay them over the top of the filling in a lattice pattern.
6. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the crust and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
7. Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving, if desired.

Classic Apple Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 double crust pie pastry (homemade or store-bought)
• 8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large bowl, toss together the sliced apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Roll out half of the prepared pie dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, making sure to press it neatly into the corners and up the sides of the dish.
4. Spoon the apple mixture into the crust, packing it in tightly and piling it high in the center. Dot the top of the apple mixture with small pieces of unsalted butter.
5. Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Place the dough over the top of the filling and trim any excess dough from the edges. Crimp the edges of the dough to seal the pie.
6. Cut several slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
7. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before serving.

No matter what kind of apple pie you choose to make, just be sure to enjoy it with the people you love. Happy baking!
