Caramel Apple Pie

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add butter and shortening, and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Step 3: Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
4. Step 4: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
5. Step 5: Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges to fit.
6. Step 6: In a separate bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.
7. Step 7: Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture and dot the top with any remaining butter pieces.
8. Step 8: Roll out the remaining dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Use this dough to cover the pie and crimp the edges to seal.
9. Step 9: Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
10. Step 10: Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
11. Step 11: While the pie is baking, heat the caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
12. Step 12: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the top of the pie.
