One more pie for your Thanksgiving list here- today I’m sharing the recipe for this Caramel Apple Pie! I won’t lie, apple pie is not my favorite. But if you’re going to make it, make it a great one.
This recipe is super easy to put together, and I’m using store-bought caramel sauce to make things even easier. You can make a lattice top, or a solid double crust, but either way you’ll end up with something really delightful for any Thanksgiving dinner (or any dinner really)!
This pie comes together really quickly, and similarly to most other apple pies with a few sweet twists to make it extra tasty. If you prefer, you can use store-bought pie crust, or a double batch of my pie crust recipe.
We’re starting out with peeling and slicing some apples. I’m using Granny Smith apples here, but you can use any firm baking apple like gala or pink lady. Right when the apples are all sliced, toss in the lemon juice and stir so they are well coated as quickly as possible.
Then we’re adding in the sugar, warm spices, and cornstarch. Once you toss everything together, you’ll have a mixture of seriously delicious apples ready for your pie. Pour the mixture into your formed bottom crust.
I like to drizzle the caramel generously over the top of the apples once they are already in the crust. The caramel will melt into the pie, and still get bubbly on top as it bakes. Then you can either top this pie with a full second crust (with vents cut into it) or a simple lattice. Off to the oven!
Like my other recent pie recipes, I recommend that you preheat a sheet pan as your oven preheats, and place the pie directly onto the hot sheet pan in the oven. You’ll get a more evenly baked crust, and an easy way to pull the pie out once it’s baked.
Top this pie with more caramel, ice cream, or whipped cream to serve it up.
This is a fairly classic and simple pie, but I’ve got some tips to help along the way to a perfect Caramel Apple Pie:
Enjoy!
