Servings: 1 pie
Ingredients
- 4-6 apples if larger apples, use less-, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 bowl large bowel of lemon water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups
caramel
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F°.
- In a bowl (about 8 cups), put 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 4 cups of water.
- Peel your apples and slice and place into lemon water mix (to keep the apples from browning).
- Drain the water from the apples once they are all peeled.
- Once the apples are sliced, mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon.
- Toss the sugar mix with the apples and mix well.
- Place your pie crust into the pan so you can put the apples on top of it.
- Place the apple mix into the pan and spread evenly.
- Add a cup of caramel sauce onto the apples.
- Place the top crust on the pie and crimp together, giving a few slits on top to vent.
- Place the pie in the oven on a baking sheet (these pies tend to leak).
- Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 400F.
- Reduce the heat after 15 minutes to 350F° and bake for 35-40 minutes.
- If the pie crust starts to burn, place a crust cover over it.
- Remove from the oven and cool. Serve each slice with a drizzle of caramel.

Notes
Troubleshooting
- Watery filling: Apples weren’t drained well or caramel was too thin
- Over‑browning crust: Cover edges with foil halfway through baking
- Undercooked apples: Slice apples evenly and not too thick
- Caramel leaking: Don’t overfill the pie plate
