Ingredients
– 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
– 3 medium-sized apples (I love using Granny Smith and Fuji for a tart-sweet balance)
– 1 cup of caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– Mixing bowl
– Knife and cutting board
– Rolling pin (if you prefer to roll out your own pie crust)
– Pastry brush
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, I take the apples and give them a good wash. Next, I peel, core, and dice them into small chunks. In a mixing bowl, I toss the apples with sugar and cinnamon until they’re evenly coated. The smell of cinnamon and sugar mixes so beautifully; it really gets me in the mood for fall! Then I gently warm up the caramel sauce on the stove or microwave until it’s nice and pourable. It’s a good idea to check the consistency and adjust if necessary.
