Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• ½ cup ice water
• 6 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ cup caramel sauce
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Slowly add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are coated evenly.
5. Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish and press it gently against the bottom and sides.
6. Pour the caramel sauce over the apple mixture and toss until well combined. Spoon the apple filling into the pie crust.
7. Roll out the second disk of dough and cut it into thin strips for a lattice design. Arrange the strips over the apple filling in a crisscross pattern.
8. Brush the lattice crust with the beaten egg for a golden brown finish.
9. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
11. Enjoy a slice of this delightful apple caramel pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
