If you're making a rosette-style pie, like the one pictured, soak the apple slices in water for one hour, so they're pliable and easy to work with, before starting this recipe.

Ingredients

Apple Pie Crust and Filling

  • 8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced thinly
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (recipe below)
  • 2 pie crusts, refrigerated 1 hour
  • egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp. water)
  • sanding sugar (for decorating crust)

Caramel Sauce

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    2. Step 2For the Apple Pie Crust and Filling: Mix apples, sugars, flour and cinnamon in one bowl. Set aside.
    3. Step 3Roll out your pie dough circles and add one to each mini pie tin.
    4. Step 4Add the apple mixture to each pie. For a rosette-style apple pie like the one pictured, layer slices from the outside in, working in circles until the pie is full. You may have to bend or cut the apple slices to fit in the very center. For a traditional, double-crust pie, just pour the slices in, creating an even layer in each pie tin. Set aside.
    5. Step 5For the caramel sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, then add flour, stirring to form a paste. Add water and sugar and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for about 10 minutes, just until the sugars are melted and no longer grainy.
    6. Step 6Drizzle caramel sauce over all of the apples.
    7. Step 7If you're making a traditional, double-crust pie (instead of rosette), roll out a second pie crust for each of the pies and use cookie cutters to cut out a design in each one, then place the crust on top of each pie, crimping the edges to seal it. If you don't have cookie cutters, use a knife to cut vent holes in the pie crust instead.
    8. Step 8 Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the juices are bubbly.
