Scale
Pie Filling
- 2 cups of sliced apples
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tbsp of lemon juice
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup of caramel sauce
- 1 pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the apples thoroughly with the sugar and spices.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust evenly into a pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly against the edges and base.
- Fill Pie Crust: Spoon the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apple filling, distributing it evenly to add sweetness and richness.
- Bake: Place the filled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor and texture.
- Let the pie cool fully to prevent the filling from running when sliced.
- For extra decadence, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- To make ahead, assemble the pie up to step 5 and refrigerate overnight before baking.
