  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust (double if making a full top crust)
  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ tsp sea salt (for the salted caramel)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for dotting the filling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Toss with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  2. Assemble the Pie Crust: Roll out the crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp edges for decoration.
  3. Make the Salted Caramel: Warm caramel sauce in a saucepan and stir in sea salt.
  4. Fill and Bake the Pie: Add apple filling to the crust, dot with butter, and drizzle half the caramel. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes until golden. Drizzle remaining caramel before serving.

Notes

  • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling.
  • Use store-bought caramel for a quicker version.
