Recipes Desserts Pies Apple Pie Recipes Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie 4.6 (488) 395 Reviews 188 Photos To me, this caramel apple pie recipe is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.

Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Combine white sugar, brown sugar, butter, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Weave the pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp to seal. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Editor's Note Get the recipe for Chef John's Easy Homemade Pie Crust.
