First Day of Fall Apple Pie

Fall Caramel Apple Pie

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie or ready-made pie crusts.
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water less 1 teaspoon
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
8 Fresh fall apples - peeled, cored and sliced

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer. Let cool a bit.

Toss apples in caramel mixture.

Place the bottom crust in your pan.

Place apples in pan, cover with top crust. But vent holes in crust, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with white sugar.

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

The First Day of Fall

My husband and I made a trip to Anderson Island today and we picked a few apples. So nice to smell the fragrant apples, feel the crisp air, and see the trees change color. Fall is officially here tomorrow.


Between the apples and blackberries available, I will have plenty of pie fruit this fall. Yum. Photos of pie to follow this week sometime!
