Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6–8 tbsp ice-cold water
- 6–7 medium apples (Granny Smith + Honeycrisp mix is best), peeled & sliced
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) white sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)
- Optional: Warm caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold butter and use fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend until crumbly. Add cold water slowly until dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap, and refrigerate 45–60 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large pot over medium heat, melt 3 tbsp butter. Add apples, sugars, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook 5–7 minutes until apples soften slightly. Sprinkle in cornstarch and stir until mixture thickens into a glossy caramel. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll first dough disc and place into pie dish. Fill with cooled apple caramel filling. Roll second dough disc and cut into strips to make a lattice pattern on top. Brush with egg wash for glossy golden color.
- Bake: Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 175°C (350°F) and bake 30–35 more minutes, until golden and bubbling.
- Optional Finish: Let cool 1 hour so the filling sets. Drizzle with warm caramel sauce for extra shine and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples.
- Letting the pie cool helps the filling set properly.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
