Apple Pie Recipe

Prepare the Pie Crust

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Ice Water

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Chill the Dough

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the Dough

After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place it in the pan and trim the edges.

Prepare the Apple Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and melted butter. Toss until the apples are well coated.

Roast the Apples

Spread the apple mixture onto a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, until the apples are soft.

Make the Caramel Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns a golden brown color, stirring occasionally.

Add Cream and Butter

Remove from heat and carefully add the heavy cream and butter. Stir until smooth, then add a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Streusel

In a bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers to mix until crumbly.

Assemble the Pie

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the roasted apple filling into the prepared pie crust, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples.

Bake the Pie

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the streusel is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Cool and Serve

Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
