Caramel Apple Pie

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2 prepared pie crusts (9 inch)
12 cup unsalted butter
3 tbsps all-purpose flour
14 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
8 granny smith apples
 
                   
 
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tsp allspice
12 tsp nutmeg
lemon juice
1Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, store in a bowl with some lemon juice to keep from turning brown until needed.
2Preheat Oven to 425?F.
3Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
4Stir in flour to make a paste.
5Add water, vanilla, sugars and spices and bring mixture to a boil.
6Reduce temperature and simmer, stirring constantly.
7Remove from heat and pour approximately 3/4 of caramel mixture over apples and toss to coat.
8Place bottom crust in a deep dish pie pan.
9Fill with apple slices (there will be a lot, create a mound).
10Cover with a lattice top crust and pour remaining caramel over the top, pouring carefully so it doesn't spill out. Or toss all caramel with apples and cover with a vented top crust.
11Place on a cookie sheet (for runoff) and bake for 15 minutes.
12Reduce temperature to 350F and cover pie crust and continue baking for 35-45 minutes or until apples are soft.
