Caramel Apple Pie Food

CARAMEL-APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place cookie sheet on bottom oven rack. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie, using 9-inch glass pie plate. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup topping and 2 tablespoons flour; spread in bottom pie crust.
• In large bowl, mix apples, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and the cinnamon. Spoon over caramel. Gently press apples. Cut small shapes from top crust to allow steam to escape. Place crust over apples. Seal edge and flute. Brush crust with milk; sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake 60 to 70 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. (After 30 minutes of bake time, cover entire pie with foil to prevent overbrowning.) Cool about 2 hours before serving.
• In small microwavable bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup topping. Microwave uncovered on High 30 to 45 seconds or until warm. Top slices of pie with ice cream; spoon topping over top.

SALTED CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with a rack in center and a large sheet of foil on rack below. Bring 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling occasionally, until mixture is deep golden brown. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, then heavy cream (it will bubble up) and salt. You will have about 1 cup. Let cool while preparing pie.
• In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, flour and salt. Add 3/4 cup cooled caramel, and toss to combine.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour filling into shell. Roll remaining disk of dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into at least 16 1/2-inch-wide strips using a fluted pastry cutter.
• Lay 8 strips across pie. Fold back every other strip, and lay a horizontal strip across the center of the pie. Unfold folded strips, then fold back remaining strips. Lay another horizontal strip across pie. Repeat folding and unfolding strips to weave a lattice pattern. Repeat on remaining side. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar, and salt, if desired. Freeze 20 minutes.
• Bake until crust is golden on bottom and juices are bubbling in center, 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. If browning too quickly, tent top or edges with foil. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 4 hours. Serve slices with vanilla ice cream drizzled with remaining caramel (reheated in pan over low heat or in microwave) and sprinkled with flaky salt.

DUTCH CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Make the pie dough: Follow the recipe and directions in my post on How to Make Perfect Pie Crust. Allow pie dough to chill in fridge for at least two hours (or overnight) or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Make the Caramel: Follow my Simple Homemade Caramel Sauce recipe. You'll use 1/2 cup of caramel in the apple filling - reserve the rest for topping pie slices when serving.
• Make the Topping: Whisk together all topping ingredients EXCEPT the butter. Then, cut the cold butter into chunks(you should be pulling it straight from the fridge) and add it into the flour mixture. Cut it in using two forks or a pastry cutter, until you have crumbs of all different sizes (the largest should be about pea sized), that are coated with flour. You'll need to clean out the pastry cutter a few times as it logs up. Set in the fridge to chill.
• Roll Pie Dough Out + Transfer to Pan: Follow the steps in my "Perfect Pie Crust" post through step 7. You'll freeze the pie crust (without the filling or crumble topping or egg wash) for 15 minutes before filling and topping and baking. (It's ok if it's in the freezer longer than 15 - make the filling while it freezes then continue with the recipe).
• Make the Filling: While the dough is in the freezer, make the filling and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse your apples, peel, core, and slice into 1/4" thick slices. In a large mixing bowl, stir together all filling ingredients as listed above EXCEPT for the caramel. Let filling sit for 10 minutes to get the apple juices going, then stir in the caramel. Set aside.
• Assemble Pie: Remove pie from freezer. Beat the egg in a small bowl, and brush over exposed parts of the crust (a pastry brush is helpful here). Spoon the filling into the crust. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apple filling. Sprinkle crust and topping with a little coarse sugar.
• Bake: Bake for 40-60 minutes, checking the pie at 20 minutes to make sure the crust isn't browning too quickly. If it is, use a pie shield or a place a piece of foil over the top of the pie and continue baking. (I do this with this pie each time at about 30 minutes.)Pie is done when the filling is bubbly, the topping and crust are golden brown, and the apples are tender (poke through the crumb topping with a fork if you're not sure if it's done - if it slides through the apple smoothly and easily, it's done! I sometimes add 5-8 minutes extra if the apples aren't tender yet).
• Serve + Store: Allow pie to cool for 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. Serve with more caramel sauce!Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Make Ahead Tips: Pie crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for 1 month. If making the pie a day or two ahead, bake, let it cool completely, cover it well with foil and keep in the fridge until ready to serve. You can re-warm it in the oven the day you plan to serve it, if desired, at 350 for 12-20 minutes, until warmed. Make sure to cover it with foil so the top doesn't brown further.

THE ULTIMATE CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the pastry, combine the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the chunks of cold butter with a pastry blender, a little at a time, until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the egg yolk and the ice water, and blend for a second just to pull the dough together and moisten. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• While the dough is resting, prepare the filling.
• To make the caramel sauce: place the sugar and water in a small pot and cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat until the sugar has melted and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the burner and add the cream and wine slowly. It may bubble and spit, so be careful. When the sauce has calmed down, return it to the flame, add the vanilla bean and heat it slowly, until the wine and caramel are smooth and continue to slowly cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and cool until thickened.
• Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in the lemon juice. Peel the apples with a paring knife, cut them in half, and remove the core with a melon baller. Put the apple halves in the lemon-water (this will keep them from going brown). Toss the apples with the flour and cinnamon.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator, unwrap the plastic, and cut the ball in half. Rewrap and return 1 of the balls to the refrigerator, until ready for the top crust. Let the dough rest on the counter for 15 minutes so it will be pliable enough to roll out. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 10-inch glass pie pan. Press the dough into the pan so it fits tightly.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice a couple of the apples at a time using a mandolin or a very sharp knife. The apples need to be thinly sliced so that as the pie bakes, they collapse on top of each other with no air pockets. This makes a dense, meaty apple pie. Cover the bottom of the pastry with a layer of apples, shingling the slices so there are no gaps. Ladle about 2 ounces of the cooled red wine caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Repeat the layers, until the pie is slightly overfilled and domed on the top; the apples will shrink down as the pie cooks. Top the apples with pieces of the butter.
• Now, roll out the other ball of dough just as you did the first. Brush the bottom lip of the pie pastry with a little beaten egg white to form a seal. Place the pastry circle on top of the pie, and using some kitchen scissors, trim off the overhanging excess from around the pie. Crimp the edges of dough together with your fingers to make a tight seal. Cut slits in the top of the pie so steam can escape while baking. Place the pie on a sheet tray and tent it with a piece of aluminum foil, so the crust does not cook faster than the apples.
• Bake the caramel apple pie for 25 minutes on the middle rack. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the freshly grated cinnamon. Remove the foil from the pie and brush the top with the remaining egg white. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and return to the oven. Continue to bake for another 25 minutes, until the pie is golden and bubbling. Let the apple pie rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the fruit pectin to gel and set; otherwise the pie will fall apart when you cut into it.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Butter and flour a 9-inch glass pie plate. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough to a 12-inch round about 1/8-inch thick. Line the pie plate, being sure to press the dough into the bottom and up the sides without stretching. Chill 30 minutes. Roughly chop the apples into small pieces, about the size of lima beans. (The apples should measure about 9 cups chopped.) Combine with the sugar, tapioca, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl. Set aside until the juices begin to run, about 10 - 15 minutes. Beat together the cream and egg to make a glaze and brush over the edges and bottom of the crust. Mound the apple filling in the pie shell. It will be quite full. Roll out the remaining dough to a large round about 1/8'' thick. Place over the filling a seal the edges together by gently pressing together. Trim any excess dough with scissors and flute the edges. Brush the top with the remaining egg glaze. Using a paring knife, cut out and remove a circle the size of a quarter from the center of the top crust. Cut 5 or 6 slits in a spoke pattern beginning 1/2-inch from the center hole and ending 1/2-inch from the outside edge. Chill for 30 minutes before baking.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the pie plate on a cookie sheet and bake 10 - 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees and continue baking until the juice visible in the center becomes thick and bubbly, about 1 hour (if the edges are browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil). Meanwhile prepare the caramel topping. Spoon the hot caramel over the top of the pie to coat and return to the oven. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until the caramel sets. Cool on a rack before serving.
• In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, butter and cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecan halves.
• In a large bowl combine the flour with the lard, butter and salt. Mix lightly with your fingertips until the dough forms grape-sized pieces. You should be able to see chunks of fat. Stir in the iced water. Lightly knead, handling the dough as little as possible, until the dough forms a ball. Add a little more iced water if necessary. Transfer to a plastic bag and shape into a log. Seal the bag, pressing out any air, and chill for as little as 1 hour or as long as 3 days. The pie dough can be frozen for as long as a week.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Place the unbaked pie crust in the freezer while you prepare the pie filling.
• As you peel, core, and slice the apples, toss them into a bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over them.
• Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup flour, ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and a dash of salt to the apple mixture. Stir well to combine.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels and heavy whipping cream. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, and heat for 30 seconds longer. Stir the mixture until it is combined and smooth. Heat for additional 15-second increments if needed to melt the caramel completely.
• Stir ⅓ cup of the caramel mixture into the apple mixture. Reserve the remaining caramel to drizzle over the top of the baked pie.
• Mound apple mixture into the chilled pie crust. Dot small pieces of the 2 tablespoons of butter over the top of the apples. Set aside.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping in a small bowl. Add pieces of butter (½ cup) into the crumble mixture. Use two forks or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until small clumps form.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
• Bake pie for 40 to 45 minutes. After 15 to 20 minutes, check the pie for browning. When the top and crust of the pie is browned, cover the entire pie with a sheet of aluminum foil and continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven when the apple filling is bubbling, and the topping and crust are browned.
• Allow the pie to cool completely.
• Drizzle pie with reserved caramel sauce (reheat as needed). Cut and serve with vanilla ice cream.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• For the perfect spiced pie crust: Mix the flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the butter and vegetable shortening. Work the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. Add the white vinegar, egg and 5 tablespoons cold water and stir until just combined.
• Form 2 equal-sized balls. Place each in a large plastic bag (do not seal) and slightly flatten with a rolling pin; this makes it much easier to roll out the crust later. After flattening, seal the bag tightly. Place in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove 1 bag of dough from the freezer (save the other dough for another use), remove the dough from the bag and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough starting at the center and working outward. Be gentle and patient; it'll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out. If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below while rolling, use a metal spatula to loosen it. When fully rolled out, loosen again with a spatula and lift the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan (or you can roll the pastry over the rolling pin, lift it onto the pie pan and unroll it). Gently press the dough against the corner of the pan and tear off any excess dough. Then tuck under the edges and go around the pie pan pinching the dough to crimp the edge.
• For the pie filling: In a bowl, mix the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour and salt. Set aside.
• For the crumb topping: Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, then add in the brown sugar, oats and salt.
• Add the apples to the prepared pie shell and top with the crumb topping. Bake for 1 hour, covering the edge of the crust with foil if it starts to brown too quickly. After an hour, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the pie, then bake for a further 5 minutes.
• Remove the pie from the oven and pour 1/2 jar (or more, if you're feeling dangerous and naughty) of caramel topping over the top. Allow to cool slightly before serving - or don't if you can't wait!

CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the caramel sauce and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400°. Press the bottom crust into a 9 inch pie pan and trim the excess with a sharp knife. Set in the fridge until the filling is ready.
• In a small bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a medium bowl toss the sliced apples together with the spiced sugar mixture and the lemon juice. Pour into the chilled pie shell.
• Generously drizzle about half of the caramel sauce over the apples and then top with the lattice crust. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with course sugar.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet to prevent over spilling on the bottom of your oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is nice and golden brown.
• Allow to cool on a rack for 20-30 minutes before drizzling more caramel sauce over the top.
