Crumb Topped Caramel Caramel Apple Pie Recipe
This caramel apple pie recipe is simply decadent, and because you use crumbs on top of the pie, you only have to make one crust!
Ingredients
- 1 deep dish pastry crust
Filling:
- 8 cups sliced granny smith apples
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Topping:
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- For the apple filling: Wash, peel, core, and slice the apples into slices. Place them in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle over the apples and toss to coat. Spread the apple mixture into the un-baked pie crust. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples.
- For the crumb topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix together until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
- Bake at 400° for 45-55 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before slicing, but it will slice best if cooled completely.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of each slice. It's awesome served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
- This is a large pie, so make sure you use a large, deep dish pie pan!
- I like to put the pie dish on the lowest rack of my oven so the bottom crust will brown before the top gets too dark.
- I make the dough and caramel sauce the day before, so that time is not included in the 25 minutes.
