Four pounds of apples go into this towering pie -- but you don't have to peel a single one. Just slice the fruit and pile it up. Warm caramel sauce drizzled on top provides extra sweetness.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 lbs cooking apples, such as Fuji (about 12 cups) or 4 lbs granny smith apples, cored and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 12 cups)
1 unbaked double pie crust (your favorite)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F.
