This classic dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a family gathering or a festive celebration. Here's a step-by-step guide to making your own salted caramel apple pie, complete with a flaky crust and a luscious filling.

Ingredients:

2 apples
320g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
1 tsp allspice
5g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
2 yolks
33g
1/3 cup vanilla extract
50g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup sugar
200g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice and brown sugar. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to let the flavors meld.
2. Make the Pie Crust:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. If needed, add a teaspoon of cold water at a time until the dough is cohesive.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts, form them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Caramel:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts into a thick amber-colored liquid (this may take about 5-7 minutes).
- Carefully add the heavy whipping cream, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
- Remove from heat and stir in the salt. Let the caramel sauce cool slightly.
4. Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit your pie dish, leaving some overhang.
- Transfer the dough to the pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides.
- Pour half of the caramel sauce over the bottom crust.
- Add the prepared apple mixture on top of the caramel layer.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the apple mixture.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
5. Bake the Pie:
- Brush the top crust with a bit of heavy cream or an egg wash (optional) for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before slicing, to let the filling set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Choose firm and tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor and texture.

- Make sure all your ingredients are cold when making the pie crust to ensure a flaky texture.

- Allow the caramel to cool slightly before adding it to the apple filling to prevent the apples from becoming too soft.

- Use a pie shield or cover the edges of your crust with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent it from over-browning.

- Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set and ensure clean slices.

By following these steps and helpful tips, you'll be able to create a delicious salted caramel apple pie that is sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this homemade dessert and don't forget to savor every bite!
