Caramel Apple Pie Filling Oamc Recipes

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples. Should be about 6 cups of apples when sliced. Toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Cover or place into a resealable bag and allow flavors to mingle for 30 minutes.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together. Stir frequently. Heat on medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Add salt.
• Add apple mixture and all of the juices. Allow mixture to come to a gentle boil, lower heat and allow to simmer, stirring often, until the firmest apples start to soften. Cooking time can be adjusted to suit your preference for apple texture. My family likes their apples on the softer side, so I let it cook until the firmest apples are fork tender.
• If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and stir through. Let this simmer a bit longer because the cornstarch will not thicken unless the liquid is at a boil.
• Ladle into a prepared quart jar with at least 1" headspace and proceed with sealing. Or ladle into a container for freezing. 1 quart will fill one pie generously.

Steps:

• Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, store in a bowl with some lemon juice to keep from turning brown until needed.
• Preheat Oven to 425°F.
• Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
• Stir in flour to make a paste.
• Add water, vanilla, sugars and spices and bring mixture to a boil.
• Reduce temperature and simmer, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and pour approximately 3/4 of caramel mixture over apples and toss to coat.
• Place bottom crust in a deep dish pie pan.
• Fill with apple slices (there will be a lot, create a mound).
• Cover with a lattice top crust and pour remaining caramel over the top, pouring carefully so it doesn't spill out. Or toss all caramel with apples and cover with a vented top crust.
• Place on a cookie sheet (for runoff) and bake for 15 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 350F and cover pie crust and continue baking for 35-45 minutes or until apples are soft.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices.
• Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Weave the pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
• Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Sprinkle lemon juice over apples in saucepan.
• Mix next four ingredients together and add to apples.
• Mix well.
• Add very hot juice to pan, (I microwave juice for 2 minutes) cook, stirring constantly until thickened.
• Remove from heat and cool.
• Fill a well chilled 9 inch pastry lined pan and cover with top crust.
• Bake on lowest rack at 425* for 10 minutes, and finish baking on center rack until bubbling, about 20 minutes more.
