The only thing better than Classic Apple Pie is Salted Caramel Apple Pie! This modern twist on an All-American favorite is a mixture of sweet and salty, with tender apples covered in a rich buttery caramel filling, and a tender and flaky crust – a combination that creates a truly remarkable dessert that is a taste sensation like no other! Perfect by itself or topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and drizzled with warm caramel sauce, this incredible apple pie is a family favorite recipe! So now that apple season has arrived, it's time to get baking! RUN and get some of your favorite apples - it looks like it is going to be a perfect weekend to visit the apple orchard and pick some local varieties of fresh apples. I typically use a variety of tart applies (granny smith) and sweet apples (braeburn, honey crisp) so that you will get a layered flavor in the pie of each unique apple. Hard to describe, but it makes such a difference when you combine several varieties of applies in your pies and crisps! I used to think that there was no way to improve on my homemade and classic Apple Pie, that was until I tweaked the recipe just a bit and created my Salted Caramel Apple Pie, using homemade Salted Caramel Sauce. And now enters Apple Cider Caramel Sauce....it just keeps getting better and better! Which leaves the decision-making up to you, because both Salted Caramel Sauce and Apple Cider Caramel Sauce are absolutely PERFECT in and drizzled over the top of this warm and delicious pie! One of my secrets to making a thick apple pie that doesn't have too much "juice" in it and doesn't get watery as it sits? I pre-cook the apple slices, and then use just the thick cinnamon-sugar tender cooked apples in the pie shell itself, leaving the excess apple juices cooling on a baking pan to be used for all kinds of other wonderful things. (The excess cooked apple juice is pretty wonderful drizzled on ice cream, cottage cheese or yogurt.) You'll have to let me know which way you go and what you decide - is the Salted Caramel Sauce OR the Apple Cider Caramel Sauce the best? And did I mention that this pie is perfect with a scoop of fresh vanilla or butter pecan ice cream? I'm just sayin.... So many choices to make, I'll just have to keep baking these pies until we can decide....YUM! INGREDIENTS:
