A delicious caramel apple pie with a lattice crust, combining sweet caramel and spiced apples.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 mins
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 (14.1-ounce) package pastry for a double-crust (9-inch) pie
  • 5 apples – peeled, cored, and sliced

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  3. Combine white sugar, brown sugar, butter, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside.
  4. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Fill with apple slices.
  5. Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch-wide) strips using a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel.
  6. 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.
  7. Pour butter-sugar mixture evenly over the lattice, letting any excess drizzle into the filling.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the crust is golden brown, the caramel is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes more. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best results.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing to set the caramel.
