Ingredients Needed
For the Filling:
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pie crust
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 jar (or more) caramel topping
How To Make Caramel Apple Pie Recipe
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, flour, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
- Make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter, then add brown sugar, oats, and salt. Mix well.
- Assemble the pie: Add the prepared apple mixture into the pie crust. Top with the crumb mixture. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil.
- Bake the pie: Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until the edges are bubbling and golden.
- Add the pecans: With 5 minutes left to bake, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the pie, then finish baking.
- Drizzle with caramel: Remove the pie from the oven and pour about 1/2 jar (or more) of caramel topping over the hot pie. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use Granny Smith Apples: These apples are tart, which balances out the sweetness of the caramel and sugar, giving your pie the perfect flavor.
- Chill the Pie Crust: For a flakier crust, chill it for at least 15 minutes before filling and baking.
- Don’t Overmix the Topping: When making the crumb topping, mix until just combined to keep it light and crumbly.
- Add Extra Caramel: For extra richness, feel free to drizzle more caramel topping over the pie once it’s out of the oven.
- Let the Pie Cool Slightly: Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the filling set and avoid a runny mess.
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Cover leftovers caramel apple pie with plastic wrap or foil and store it for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Wrap leftovers caramel apple pie tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave it in the fridge overnight before serving.
