2. 
   

   Make the Caramel: Follow my Simple Homemade Caramel Sauce recipe. You'll work 1/2 loving cup of caramel inward the apple tree filling - reserve the balance for topping pie slices when serving. 

   
   


3. 
   

   Make the Topping: Whisk together all topping ingredients EXCEPT the butter.

Cut it inward using ii forks or a pastry cutter, until yous bring crumbs of all unlike sizes (the largest should live on most pea sized), that are coated alongside flour. You'll postulate to build clean out the pastry cutter a few times every bit it logs up. Set inward the refrigerator to chill. 

   
   


4. 
   

   Roll Pie Dough Out + Transfer to Pan: Follow the steps inward my "Perfect Pie Crust" ship service through stride 7. You'll freeze the pie crust (without the filling or crumble topping or egg wash) for xv minutes earlier filling too topping too baking. (It's ok if it's inward the freezer longer than xv - brand the filling patch it freezes hence proceed alongside the recipe).

   
   


5.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together all filling ingredients every bit listed higher upward EXCEPT for the caramel. Let filling sit down for 10 minutes to larn the apple tree juices going, hence stir inward the caramel. Set aside.

   Pie is done when filling is bubbly, topping too crust are golden brown, too apples are tender (poke through the crumb topping alongside a fork if you're non certain if it's done - if it slides through the apple tree smoothly too easily, it's done! I sometimes add together 5-8 minutes extra if the apples aren't tender yet).

   
   


8. 
   

   Serve + Store: Allow pie to cool for 2-3 hours earlier slicing too serving. Serve alongside to a greater extent than caramel sauce!
