Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 Degrees
  • Melt 1 cup butter in a sauce pan. Stir in 6 Tablespoons flour to form a paste. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with sliced apples. Top with about half of the sugary caramel sauce.
  • Cover with a top crust, using whatever technique you feel comfortable with. Gently pour the remaining caramel over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off. Top with a few shakes of cinnamon.
  • Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Once finished baking, let sit out for at least 4 hours, preferably closer to 12 hours.

Notes

Make ahead: This is a great pie to make the day before serving because the filling gets plenty of time to cool and set.
Apples: Granny Smith apples are tart enough to balance the sweet caramel filling and hold up well during baking.
Pie crust: Use the homemade pie crust recipe below or your favorite double-crust pie dough.
Serving: Serve at room temperature or gently warm individual slices and top with vanilla ice cream.
