Caramel Apple Pie - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

Caramel Sauce

  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ to 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

Filling

  • 3 Granny Smith apples
  • 3 sweet apples fugji, gala, etc.
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water and mix well. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cream, sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Pour into the melted butter, bring the mixture to a boil and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring, about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and sea salt. Set aside.
  • Peel and core the apples. Slice the apples and place them in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar, light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and cornstarch. Toss with your hands to coat the apples well.
  • Sprinkle the lemon juice over the tops of the apples.
  • Roll out a bottom pie crust to about ⅛-inch thick and place into a 9-inch pie plate or 10-inch Dutch oven.
  • Spread the apples evenly over the crust. Drizzle about ½ cup of the caramel sauce over the apples.
  • Place the second crust on top. If using a solid crust, be sure it has at least 6 vent holes.
  • Whisk together the egg and water and brush over the top of the crust.
  • Place the pie in a preheated to 375 degrees F. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the crust is set up and the pie is bubbling through. You may need to use a pie shield around the outside edges as it cooks to prevent it from burning.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest at least 2 hours. Cut and drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce. Serve.
