Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.333 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with unsalted butter.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices into a large mixing bowl and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Add the water to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the apples in the mixing bowl and toss until the apples are evenly coated. Pour the warm caramel mixture over the apples and gently fold to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared pie dish, spreading everything out into an even layer. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the apple slices from burning.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the caramel sauce is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
