Classic Caramel Apple Walnut Pie

Classic Caramel Apple Walnut Pie

Very few things bring back childhood memories like the smell of a freshly baked pie wafting through the kitchen. This Classic Caramel Apple Walnut Pie is my go-to recipe when I want to impress at potlucks or just treat myself on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s a perfect blend of sweet, tart, and crunchy that never fails to delight.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour, plus a little extra for dusting
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup of cold butter, cubed
  • A splash of ice water
  • 4 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I prefer a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balance)
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • A couple of tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
  • 1 egg, beaten (for that golden crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Trust me, starting with a hot oven is key to a flaky crust.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Tip: Keep everything as cold as possible for the flakiest crust.
  3. Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap it in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. While the dough chills, toss the apple slices with both sugars, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Let them sit to release some juices.
  5. Roll out half of the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Trim the edges but leave a little overhang.
  6. Spoon the apple mixture into the crust, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle walnuts on top.
  7. Roll out the remaining dough, place it over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.
  8. Brush the top with beaten egg for a shiny finish. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Tip: Place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips.
  9. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. This patience-testing step ensures the filling sets perfectly.

My favorite part? The contrast between the crisp crust, the soft, spiced apples, and the crunchy walnuts, all tied together with gooey caramel. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

  3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Gently place it in the dish, trim the edges, and set aside.

  3. Gradually add ice water, a splash at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap it in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. This rest period makes the dough easier to handle.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Trim the edges but leave a little overhang for a rustic look.
  5. Toss the apple slices and walnuts with the caramel sauce, then pour into the crust. Fold the overhang over the filling—it doesn’t have to be perfect!
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Tip: Place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips.
  7. Melt the chocolate chips with milk in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Drizzle over the warm pie.

Delightfully rich and gooey, this pie is a textural dream with the crunch of walnuts against the soft apples. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

This summer, I found myself craving the cozy flavors of fall, and what better way to satisfy that than with a Caramel Apple Walnut Pie with Salted Caramel Sauce? Trust me, the combination of sweet, tart, and salty is a game-changer for your dessert table.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour, plus a little extra for dusting
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup of cold butter, cubed
  • 4-5 tbsp of ice water
  • 4 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I love a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • A splash of vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup of caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • A sprinkle of sea salt for that salted caramel magic

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Tip: Don’t overwork the dough, or it’ll get tough.
  4. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out one disc on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Trim the edges, leaving a little overhang.
  6. In another bowl, toss the apple slices with both sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, and walnuts. Tip: Letting this sit for 10 minutes helps the flavors meld.
  7. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with sea salt.
  8. Roll out the second dough disc, place it over the filling, seal the edges, and cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Tip: Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.

Oh, the aroma of this pie baking is irresistible! The crust is flaky, the apples are tender yet hold their shape, and the walnuts add a delightful crunch. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comfort dessert.
