Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
• 1 large Egg (lightly beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack in the center of the oven.

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Spread half of the apple filling evenly into the pie crust. Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans over the apples. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of the caramel sauce over the pecans.

Step 5

Add the remaining apple filling on top, followed by the rest of the chopped pecans, and drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over everything.

Step 6

Dot the top of the filling with the unsalted butter pieces.

Step 7

Roll out an additional piece of pie dough (if desired) to make a lattice topping or simply add a solid top crust. If using a solid crust, cut small slits in the surface to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Brush the top crust or lattice with the beaten egg to provide a golden finish during baking.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 11

Optional: Drizzle additional caramel sauce over each slice just before serving for extra sweetness.
