Caramel Apple Pie Recipe

Directions:

1. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, store in a bowl with some lemon juice to keep from turning brown until needed.
2. Preheat Oven to 425°F.
3. Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
4. Stir in flour to make a paste.
5. Add water, vanilla, sugars and spices and bring mixture to a boil.
6. Reduce temperature and simmer, stirring constantly.
7. Remove from heat and pour approximately 3/4 of caramel mixture over apples and toss to coat.
8. Place bottom crust in a deep dish pie pan.
9. Fill with apple slices (there will be a lot, create a mound).
10. 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.
11. Place on a cookie sheet (for runoff) and bake for 15 minutes.
12. Reduce temperature to 350F and cover pie crust and continue baking for 35-45 minutes or until apples are soft.
