Recipe Summary Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie
To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe 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.
Ingredients | Dutch Apple Pie Recipes6 tablespoons unsalted butter½ cup white sugar½ cup brown sugar¼ cup water¼ teaspoon cinnamon1 pinch salt5 apples - peeled, cored and sliced1 pastry for double-crust pie (see footnote for recipe link)DirectionsPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices.Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. 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.Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust.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.Get the recipe for Chef John's Easy Homemade Pie Crust.Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.Info | Dutch Apple Pie Recipesprep:
