Salted Caramel Apple Pie Recipe

🍎 Salted Caramel Apple Pie

Tender cinnamon-spiced apples, a flaky buttery crust, and rich salted caramel come together in a classic fall dessert with a sweet-and-salty finish.

Ingredients

Pie
• 2 refrigerated or homemade pie crusts
• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Salted Caramel
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp butter, cut into pieces
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp sea salt

For Finishing
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp milk
• Coarse sugar, optional
• Extra flaky sea salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla. Toss until evenly coated.
To make the caramel, heat sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until completely melted and amber in color.
Carefully whisk in butter, followed by heavy cream. Stir until smooth, then add sea salt. Let cool slightly.
Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust. Drizzle about ½ cup salted caramel over the apples.
Top with the second pie crust or create a lattice pattern. Trim and crimp the edges.
Whisk the egg with milk and brush over the crust. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven to 375°F and bake for another 35–45 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours so the filling can set.
Drizzle with extra salted caramel and finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.
