1

Heat oven to 375°F. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using 9-inch glass pie plate. In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour and the cinnamon. Add apples; toss to coat. Spoon apple mixture into crust- lined plate. In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons caramel apple dip and the milk; drizzle over apples.
2

In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the brown sugar. With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over filling.
3

To make lattice top, cut second crust into 1/2-inch-wide strips with pastry cutter. Place half of the strips across filling in pie plate. Weave remaining strips with first strips to form lattice. Trim ends of strips even with edge of bottom crust. Fold trimmed edge of bottom crust over ends of strips, forming a high stand-up rim. Seal and flute.

Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Drizzle remaining caramel apple dip over pie. Cool at least 2 hours before serving.

More About This Recipe

You’ll notice that this caramel apple pie features a lattice-crust topping. A lattice topping is much easier than it looks and is the perfect way to finish off your apple pie. All you have to do is cut your second crust into 1/2-inch strips and weave the top strips over and under the bottom strips, alternating. If that seems too ambitious for you, there are a few other simple tricks you can use to produce a beautiful top crust. For a shiny crust, brush with a tablespoon of milk before baking. For a crispy, sugared crust, brush with a tablespoon of milk or water and sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar on top before baking. You could also make a glazed crust. To do that, brush the top of the dough with a beaten egg before baking. There’s more apple pie hacks where that came from. 411 on how to make the most perfect apple pie every time!
