½ cup white sugar

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons lemon juice

How To Prepare

CRUMB TOPPING
Add all dry ingredients to food processor and pulse a couple times to mix. Turn on and drizzle in melted butter until completely incorporated and mixture looks like damp sand. Set aside.

FILLING
Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 15 minutes. Toss together and pour into pie shell. Pack in firmly and pour crumb topping over the apples, making sure all apples are covered. Bake for 20 minutes on a baking rack then remove the baking rack and place on sheet pan. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and bake another 50 minutes. Remove and cool at least 30 minutes before cutting. Serve with the caramel sauce and whipped cream.

CARAMEL SAUCE
While the pie is baking, add the sugar to a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted and light brown, stirring occasionally. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream being careful not to burn yourself from the steam. Whisk the mixture over low heat until it’s smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove heat. Set aside until ready to serve.
