6 Juicy Fruit Pies Including The Best Caramel Apple Pie
Ingredients
- 2 9" Pre made pie crusts, (homemade or store bought)
- 4 Gala Apples
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour, Plus 1 teaspoon divided
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, Plus 1 teaspoon divided
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3-6 Tbsp Caramel sauce, store bought or homemade
- 1 egg, for egg wash
- turbinado sugar, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the apple filling
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Peel and slice 4 medium apples into 1/4- 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices in a medium sized bowl and pour 1/4 cup lemon juice over them. Mix lightly. Set aside while you prepare the dry ingredients.
- In a large bowl combine 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a small pinch bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon flour and 1 teaspoon sugar. Mix to combine. Sprinkle this mixture all over the bottom of one pie crust.
- Drain the apple slices- pour them out onto a few paper towels. Dry them as best as you can then mix them into the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Toss the apples to coat them evenly.
Assemble the pie
- Layer one layer of apples on the bottom of the pie and top with 1-2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Repeat until there are no more apples left. Finish with a last drizzle of caramel sauce. Use 3-6 tbsp- as much or as little as you like!
Prepare the pie crust
- Decide which design you are using. Please see the original post for ideas!
- For a simple pie decoration- roll out the pie crust on a floured surface into a 10" round with 1"2 thickness. Fold the crust onto the rolling pin, lift and place it on top of the pie. Trim and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork or your fingers. Add 3 1" slits into the middle of the pie to let steam escape. Alternatively you can choose to make a lattice crust. See post for step by step instructions!
- Whisk an egg in a small bowl and brush it over the pie crust. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and bake for 30-35 minutes. The pie is down when its golden brown and bubbly!
- Cool completely before cutting into it.
