Ingredients
  

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 6 T. salted butter
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. sea salt or fleur de sel

Apple Pie Filling

  • 6 Fuji apples peeled, cored and sliced (1/3 of an inch thick) (about 5 cups)
  • 1 T. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1/4 c. cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 c. water
  • 2 T. butter
  • 2 puff pastry sheets thawed
  • flour for dusting
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tsp. coarse raw sugar divided
  • 1/2 c. pecans toasted, divided
  • raspberry syrup garnish
  • toasted pecans garnish
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Pour sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until the sugar has completely melted. Allow the sugar to get nice and bubbly brown.
  • As soon as your sugar turns that beautiful deep amber caramel color, add the butter and whisk until your butter has melted.
  • Turn off your burner and add the whipping cream
  • Whisk until all of the half and half has been combined.
  • Add the sea salt and stir.
  • Allow the sauce to cool for about 10 minutes, pour the sauce into a mason jar and set aside.
  • Pour lemon juice over apples and toss to combine.
  • In a large saucepan, combine sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • Over medium-high heat, whisk in water and bring to a boil for a couple minutes stirring constantly.
  • Add the apple slices, combine with the sauce and bring to another boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a medium-low and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Add the butter and combine. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll puff pastry between two pieces of floured parchment until about 9X10 in size.
  • Cut down the middle lengthwise to create two identical strips. Place one sheet on a cookie sheet.
  • Place half of the cooled apple mixture down the middle of one strip making sure to leave about a 3/4 inch border. Pour about 4 T. of salted caramel over the apples and top with 1/4 c. of pecans.
  • Brush all around the border with the egg wash and place the other pastry half over the top and press the edges together to seal.
  • Make small slits in the top to create steam vents and brush with egg wash across the top and sprinkle with 1 tsp. coarse raw sugar. Repeat the process with the other puff pastry sheet.
  • Place both slabs in the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish each serving with more salted caramel, raspberry sauce and pecans. Serve immediately with ice cream. Say Grace and enjoy!
