  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to a 12-inch circle.
  3. Transfer the crust to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
  5. Arrange the apple mixture evenly over the pie crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
  6. Fold the edges of the crust over the apples, pleating as desired. Don't worry about making it perfect – a rustic look is charming!
  7. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  9. Let cool slightly before drizzling with the salted caramel sauce and serving. Enjoy!
