How to Make Apple Pie 63

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup caramels and ½ cup half-and-half.
  3. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are completely melted and smooth. Set aside to keep warm.
  4. Lightly spoon 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour into a measuring cup, leveling off with a straight edge.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Add ¼ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup ice water, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
  9. In a separate large bowl, combine the apple filling ingredients (see ingredient list for specifics). Toss gently to coat.
  10. Spoon the apple filling into the prepared crust.
  11. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce evenly over the apples.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together the topping ingredients (see ingredient list for specifics) until smooth.
  13. Spoon the topping evenly over the apples, spreading slightly.
  14. Sprinkle with ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
  15. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  16. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
  17. Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
