Ingredients

• 1 9-inch shell Premade pie crust
• 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
• 0 Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are well-coated.

Step 4

Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading evenly.

Step 5

Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apples.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the cold, cubed butter, rolled oats, and chopped pecans (if using). Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the butter-oats mixture evenly over the apple filling.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 9

If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield halfway through baking.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
