Indulgent salted caramel apple pie - satisfy your sweet cravings!
Ingredients:
  • 3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
  • 2 large Pink Lady apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 32.00 gm brown sugar
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 10.00 gm ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 0.63 gm ground nutmeg
  • 1 Free Range Egg, lightly whisked
  • 20.00 gm raw sugar
  • Vanilla ice-cream, to serve
  • 300g plain flour
  • 40g custard powder
  • 80g icing sugar
  • 185g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 2 free range egg yolks
  • 220g caster sugar
  • 185ml thickened cream
  • 50g butter, chopped
  • 1.20 gm salt flakes
Instructions:
  • For the pastry, blend flour, custard powder, icing sugar, and butter in a food processor until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cold water, process until dough forms. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Set aside one-third of the dough. Roll out the rest of the dough on a floured surface into a 5mm-thick circle. Use it to line the base and sides of a 22cm-round fluted tart pan with a removable base. Trim the edges, saving any extra dough. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • To prepare the caramel sauce, simply place sugar in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sugar dissolves and turns into caramel. Remove from heat, then mix in cream, butter, and salt. Return to low heat and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the caramel thickens. Allow it to cool before using.
  • In a bowl, mix together apples and lemon juice. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Spread one-third of the apple mixture over the pastry case. Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Layer half of the remaining apples and drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Finish by topping with the remaining apples.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until it is a thin 3mm disc. Slice it into 3cm x 22cm strips. Lay the strips in a lattice design over the apples, adjusting as needed to fit. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the pie to a baking tray, then generously brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the pastry turns a beautiful golden color. Let it cool for a bit before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and drizzling the remaining caramel sauce over the top.
