Easy Homemade Apple Pie Recipe by Chef John

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust (such as Pillsbury®
• 4 large red apples, cored and thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, white sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved, then remove the homemade caramel sauce from heat.
3. Unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Arrange apple slices evenly into the crust. Unroll the second pie crust on a clean work surface and cut it into 8 (1-inch-wide) strips. Create a lattice pattern over the apples with the strips, or weave them for a more decorative crust. Crimp the bottom crust edges over the lattice strips to seal.
4. Spoon the homemade caramel sauce evenly over the pie, ensuring the lattice strips are covered. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the crust and filling.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 35 to 40 more minutes, until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on top is set, and the filling is bubbling. Let the apple pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
