Equipment
- 1 Pie Drip Catcher optional
- 1 Pie Crust Shield optional
- 1 Spatula
- Bowls, measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 9" pan Sweet Pie Dough Rolled in a 9" pie pan
Crumble Topping
- ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
- ¾ Cup Oatmeal
- ¾ Cup All-Purpose flour
- ½ Cup Butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Pie Filling
- 2 Pounds Apples (Granny Smith and/or Honey Crisp)
- ½ Cup Granulated Sugar for macerating apples
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice optional - to prevent apples from browning prior to baking
- 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ⅓ Cup Caramel Sauce
- 1 Large Egg, lightly beaten For brushing pie dough prior to baking
Instructions
Macerate Apples
- Peel, core and chop apples into ¼ inch slices.
- Place apples in a bowl, add one tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning) and toss apples.
- Add 100 grams (½ cup) granulated sugar and toss until apples are coated.
- Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside for one hour.
Crumble
- Combine brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Using your hands, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine ingredients until it resembles coarse pieces.
Pie
- Drain juices from macerated apples and return to original bowl. Sprinkle cornstarch, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg over apples. Toss to coat apples evenly.
- Using a pastry brush apply egg wash to the pie shell (bottom, top and sides of crust)
- Place ½ of the apples into pie shell.
- Drizzle ½ of the caramel over apples. Place the second ½ of apples in pie shell and drizzle remaining caramel over the apples.
- Spread crumble topping over pie filling.
- Place pie in refrigerator and heat oven to 350℉. (note - placing pie in refrigerator helps alleviate issues with burnt and shrinking crusts)
- Once oven heats up 350℉ bake for 35 - 40 minutes. Check crust after 25 - 30 minutes of baking. If crust is becoming too brown, place a pie shield over crust (or wrap loosely in foil).
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!
