Caramel Apple Pie Recipe | Lattie Pie Crust | Mean Green Chef (2024)

Our old fashioned Caramel Apple Pie, baked with the perfect combination of apples and a rich caramel sauce. An award-winning combination that has been in our family for years.

The sauce is so easy to make and simmers while you prep the pie for baking. Once you’re done slicing the apples, they get tossed with sugar and apple pie spice (we have a quick recipe for that too)!

We use our favorite versatile Easy Shortcrust Pastry, it’s buttery, flaky goodness stands up the weight of this mile high pie. Plus, this crust comes together in a snap in your food processor.

If you’re on the fly you can easily use a couple of store-bought refrigerated crusts, you’ll find them in the freezer section.

What Are the Best Types of Apples to Use for Apple Pie?

While there are more than 100 varieties of apples grown in the USA, there are about 15 popular varieties that account for nearly 90% of production.

We use 2 types to create the ultimate balanced blend of apple flavor.

How Do I make a Lattice Pie Design?

This is a really simple design that makes a beautiful presentation. If you don’t have a pastry wheel, use a pizza wheel to cut the crust for the top of the pie. If you don’t have either of them, then you can use a sharp knife with a straight edge ruler. Cut the pastry into even strips between 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch wide depending on how thick you want your lattice.

After your pie is filled, lay down 4-7 parallel strips of pastry dough, depending on how thick the strips are, on top of the filling. Leaving roughly 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch space between them.

Then fold back every other strip.

Place a strip of dough perpendicular to the parallel strips as shown. Unfold the folded strips over the perpendicular strip.

Then take the parallel strips that are running underneath the perpendicular strip and fold them back over the perpendicular strip, as shown below. Lay down a second perpendicular strip of dough next to the first strip, with some space between the strips. Unfold the folded parallel strips over the second strip.

Keep going you’re almost there! Proceed with this process until the lattice is complete.

Trim the edges of the strips so they are flush with the pastry of the pie dish. Then crimp and secure them to the shell.
