Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Pastry cutter
  • Pie dish
  • Heavy-bottomed saucepan

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (for the crust)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 6-8 tablespoons ice water
  • 6 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for the caramel sauce)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for the caramel sauce)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for the caramel sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the pie crust, which forms the foundation of your Salted Caramel Apple Pie. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling. Toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to release their juices.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns amber in color. Once melted, carefully whisk in the butter, followed by the heavy cream. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of sea salt.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one disc of chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Spoon the apple filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apples. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with an egg wash and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
