Take note
Be careful when working with hot caramel, as it can cause burns. Make sure to cool the pie before serving to avoid burning your tongue!

1

Prepare the crust

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your store-bought or homemade pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges to create a decorative pattern. Set aside.

2

Make the caramel sauce

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until it turns into a rich amber color. Be patient, it can take about 10 minutes. Once the sugar has melted completely, add 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and stir until smooth. Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream while stirring. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the caramel sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

3

Prepare the apple filling

Peel, core, and slice 6 medium-sized apples of your choice. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together until the apples are coated evenly with the mixture.

4

Assemble and bake

Pour the caramel sauce over the apple filling and give it a good stir. Transfer the apple-caramel mixture into the prepared pie crust, and spread it out evenly. If you're feeling fancy, you can add a lattice crust on top. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

5

Let it cool and enjoy

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This will allow the caramel and apples to set. Once it has cooled, slice into heavenly pieces and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy the caramel apple pie bliss!
