Preparation

Step 1

Core, peel, and thinly slice the apples, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add zest and juice of the lemon.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples. Use your hands to gently mix and coat the apple slices.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Gather your rolled pie crust, salted caramel, and apple mixture. Begin by layering 1/3 of the apples in the bottom of the crust so that there are minimal gaps. Pour 1/3 of the caramel over the apples. Add 1/3 of the apples and caramel for a second layer, and then add a third layer of apples, and then the caramel again. Save a small portion of the caramel for garnishing.

Assemble the lattice crust and flute the edges of the crust. Mix together the yolk and cream. Brush the crust with this egg wash and sprinkle with raw sugar and sea salt.
