Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for crust)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for crust)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for crust)
  • 6-8 tablespoons ice water
  • 6 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
  • extra caramel sauce for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide in half, shape into disks, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In another large bowl, combine sliced apples with both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Stir in the caramel sauce and gently mix to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one dough disk and fit into a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Pour half of the apple filling into the crust and drizzle with half the caramel sauce. Repeat with the remaining apples and caramel. Dot the top with butter pieces.
  • Roll out the second dough disk and place over the pie. Trim and crimp the edges, and cut slits on top for steam to escape.
  • Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce before serving.
