• Versatile enough to customize with your favorite spices.

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess hanging over the edges.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are well coated.
3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with diced butter.
4. Cover the pie with another layer of crust, if desired, or create a lattice pattern. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor.
• Let the pie cool slightly before cutting to ensure cleaner slices.
• For a shiny crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast to the warm pie.

Easy Variations

• Add a handful of raisins or cranberries for a fruity twist.
• Experiment with spices, such as ginger or allspice, to personalize the flavor.
• Swap the caramel sauce for a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a different indulgence.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
• A cup of hot coffee or spiced cider to complement the flavors.
• Cheese platter with sharp cheddar for a sweet and savory contrast.
