Instructions
- Step 1 – Make the caramel sauce - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook without stirring until deep amber. Off heat, whisk in butter, then cream. Add vanilla and salt. Cool in a jar — sauce thickens as it cools.1 cup Sugar, 3 tbsp Water, 2 tbsp Corn syrup , 4 tbsp Butter, ½ cup Whipping cream, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, ½ tsp Salt
- Step 2 – Make the pie crust - Pulse flour, salt, and butter in a food processor until crumbly. Add ice water until dough just holds together. Divide into two discs (one slightly larger), wrap, and chill for 1 hour or up to 3 days.3 cups All-purpose four, 1 cup Butter, ½ tsp Salt, 6 tbsp Water
- Step 3 – Prepare the filling - Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C. Peel, core, and slice apples thinly.

- Step 4 – Assemble the pie - Line the pie pan with the larger crust. Add half the filling, drizzle ¼ cup caramel, then the remaining filling, then another ¼ cup caramel. Save extra caramel for serving.
- Step 5 – Lattice top crust - Roll out the second crust and cut into strips. Lay half the strips across the pie, then weave the remaining strips perpendicular to form a lattice. Trim, fold under, and crimp edges. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle sugar.1 Egg white, 2 tbsp Water, 2 tbsp Sugar
- Step 6 – Bake - Place pie on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 400°F / 200°C, then reduce to 350°F / 177°C for 40–50 minutes. Cover edges if browning too quickly. Cool at least 3 hours before slicing.
